USS Intrepid (CV-11)

The enormous size of the Intrepid can be appreciated when standing in the belly of the ship. But it's hard to imagine over 3400 men and a full complement of aircraft serving on her in WWII.

 

Some stats are listed below for Navy/war buffs. Since 1982, the Intrepid has served as the Air and Space Museum, docked at Pier 86 in the Hudson River, Manhattan, New York City.
