Only two choices from the USN: Enterprise (CV6) and Constitution
Everything else is an "also ran"
Enterprise is the most decorated ship in Navy history, and credited with the most enemy ships destroyed. The weight of the IJN fell upon her in the darkest hours of the Pacific War, and she held the line when all others failed.
Constitution was the super-ship of her era, and continues to serve as a training ship to this day. Oldest commissioned ship in the Navy, and continues to help shape the Navy to this day.
I cannot, in good faith, pick either above the other.
There are bigger, more powerful, faster, ships... but these two are what it all boils down to.
Some day, another ship *may* eclipse them, and earn the right to grab the top spot alone, but that will take some very, very dark days indeed.
