For a school project that is due on April 11 I would like to build a model of the Yorktown class aircraft carrier Enterprise. I can't find plans anywhere online, can anyone help me out with this?

I'm guessing that you've already looked at the Enterprise home page, but these images might be helpful...

What scale and time frame are you looking to do? There are several plan sets out there. I'd have a look at
Taubman Plans: USS ENTERPRISE
Maryland Silver: New Page 17
The Taubman plans set is a good starting point. The Maryland Silver book has almost too much information in it (every line drawing from the ships construction). You can also look at The Floating Drydock's website, they probably have a CV-6 set of plans, too.
and check out the Modelwarships.com "Calling All Ships" section of the forum. You can find guys there who know everything about the Yorktown class ships:
The Ship Model Forum • View forum - Aircraft Carriers
You need to know what time frame specifically you want to build first, though. CV-6 was modified so much between 1941 and 1945 that she was almost a different ship, and plans for one time frame won't do you much good for her at another time frame.
