USS Intrepid CV-11 Intrepid is tied up at Pier 86 in the Hudson River on the west side of Manhattan Island. When the Intrepid was brought in, it was grounded, and water has entered some of the lowest levels of the ships, so it is unlikely that the below the hangar deck areas will ever be available for tours. While the US Navy planned to scrap the Intrepid, a group of New Yorkers campaigned and raised money to save the ship, which is now billed as the largest sea, air, and space museum in the world. www.visi.com /~jweeks/carriers/intrepid.html   (322 words)

USS Intrepid - New York, New York It is possible that the continuing use of the Intrepid as a command post (I visited eight months after 9-11) had something to do with this, but the hangar deck made a most impressive museum, including a very moving memorial to 9-11 forward on the starboard side. The Intrepid is more of a museum than a museum ship; none of her compartments below the hangar deck were open that day. As such it was not a pleasant day to walk the decks of this Essex class carrier, but the Intrepid has a huge inventory of aircraft, and most of them are on the flight deck. www.taskforce1.org /intrepid1.htm   (245 words)
