Launched in 1943, the aircraft carrier Intrepid fought in World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike. The ship later served in the Cold War and Vietnam. Intrepid also served as a NASA recovery vessel in the 1960s.   More than 50,000 men served on board Intrepid during the ship's time in service, and more than 270 men made the ultimate sacrifice.  Intrepid was decommissioned in 1974. Today, Intrepid is berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and houses the Space Shuttle Enterprise, a super-secret Submarine Growler, as well as the British Airways Concorde.  For more information about the USS Intrepid, please visit http://www.intrepidmuseum.org
