USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), also known as The Fighting "I", is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during World War II for the United States Navy. She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in August 1943, Intrepid participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). In her second career, she served mainly in the Atlantic, but also participated in the Vietnam War. She was the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission. Because of her prominent role in battle, she was nicknamed "the Fighting I", while her frequent bad luck and time spent in dry dock for repairs—she was torpedoed once and hit by four separate Japanese kamikaze aircraft—earned her the nicknames "Decrepit" and "the Dry I".
Decommissioned for the second time in 1974, in 1982 Intrepid became the foundation of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

The Concorde no longer crosses the skies but it's still quite a vision, even set down on Pier 86, by the USS Intrepid (CV-11) aircraft carrier.
This Concorde is the G-BOAD, which flew more hours than any other of these supersonic planes: an impressive 23,397 hours.
O Concorde já não atravessa os céus, mas continua a ser uma visão impressionante, mesmo pousado no Pier 86, junto ao porta-aviões USS Intrepid (CV-11).
Este é o Concorde G-BOAD, que voou mais horas do que qualquer outro destes aviões super-sónicos: umas impressionantes 23.397 horas.
