The USS Intrepid arrives in Manhattan

After almost two years of renovation, the USS Intrepid traveled from Staten Island to her home berth in Manhattan to reopen as a floating museum. The Intrepid served from WWII to 1974 and opened in 1982 as a museum. It will reopen to the public on Nov. 8.

I traveled all the way from Texas to Manhattan in order to visit the intrepid. Unfortunately I was on my own without the company of my family but boy did I enjoy the adventure.

I have been aboard this grand old lady, even though she is now a museum she is still very impressive

Hey Bob I don't know you but I I just wanted to say thank you for your service and I was just wondering if I could ask you a few questions about yourself.

[@MokenaBob]

Sure

[@loveshack8172]

When you were on the Intrepid, did the Korean war end before you got to Korea?

[@Legitcar117]

korea was in 1950 to 1953, not the 1970s.

Beautiful carrier, welcome home and thank you for your service.

[@roseharmonregis4196]

On my bucket list to tour. My daddy David Irby Harmon, was in the ship's original company when it was commissioned 16 August 1945.

[@Josh-hr5mc]

I'm curious what goes into the restoration. Amazing feat imho. Plus it looked like it came in on its own power as well.

[@danmacneil1895]

At 56 never been south of the border! But would love to go there and do a tour of that carrier!

[@ASOtheprO]

$115 million for renovations 😳 that’s insanely awesome and amazing

[@delboytrotter8806]

Thanks Mcallister towing , great job.

[@pigwigpa]

Out of the 24 build. The Intrepid only has 3 surviving sister. The Yorktown,Hornet and Lexington

[@Josh-hr5mc]

It's ironic the 3 ships you named were all sunk in WW2 before the Essex classes came into the picture

[@GeneralHawk505]

Intrepid, Yorktown, Lexington, and Hornet all 4 were essex's. He isn't lying. The Rebuilt later Essex class of Hornet, Lex and Yorktown intrepid was the new boy.
