Today it was announced that the New York based intructional museum ship USS Intrepid, which is similar in its “mission” to the San Diego aircraft carrier/tourist destination/party ship Midway docked just south of the foot of Broadway, is being pulled out of its muddy berth in Manhattan Island after 24 years for repairs! GO NAVY!!!
“Intrepid was saved from the scrap yard in the 1970s by New York builder Zach Fisher. Since then, with military aircraft displayed on its flight deck and in the hangar deck, it has been serving as a memorial to the armed services, drawing more than 700,000 visitors a year.”
