Camouflage
As a premium ship, Enterprise comes included with Type 10 camouflage that lowers her detection radius, reduces the accuracy of incoming shells, and increases the amount of experience she earns.
Signals
As a carrier, Enterprise has no risk of detonating. India X-Ray (), Victor Lima (), and Juliet Whiskey Unaone () flags are recommended to increase fire and flooding chances. November Echo Setteseven () flags are also recommended to improve the ship’s anti-aircraft defenses and survivability of the strike aircraft squadrons against enemy fighters. Economic flags such as Equal Speed Charlie London (🚫) and Zulu (🚫) can be mounted to increase the ship’s experience and credit gain per battle. Special flags can also be mounted to further increase after-battle rewards.
