Dang never seen any reference to that anywhere
If my Google Fu is anything like I think it still is,
USS Enterprise CVAN 65; CVN 65 in June 30 1975 aka BIG E was given the designation when CVA and CVAN were replaced with CV and CVN to designate multi mission character of aircraft carriers after the decommission of the last CVS in 1974. Many blessings and much love

The “N” designation in CV(N) 6, when the USS Enterprise received it in 1945, stood for “Night.” The USS Enterprise was a Yorktown-class aircraft carrier that was reclassified as a night carrier in 1943. Night carriers were optimized for operations during the night, including night raids and combat operations under low-light conditions. This designation was significant as it highlighted the ship’s specialized role and capabilities in conducting nighttime operations.

yellow dwarf
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V), informally called a yellow dwarf, though its light is actually white. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud.
