Misc Below Decks on the Intrepid

Frazod · 07-05-2012, 05:52 PM

Interesting article with photos of the off-limits spaces of the World War II aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, which is now a museum ship permanently berthed in New York City. The areas not open to tours have basically been left untouched since the ship was decommissioned back in the 70s.

Not sure. That would certainly be a cool addition. I toured the ship back in the 90s. At the time they had a WWII era sub, destroyer, and Sherman tank, which was actually functional and rolling down the pier (damn that thing was loud).

That is neat, the stamp on the envelope and other tag look fake though, they are bright white..

Old warships are awesome. Not too far from me, in Fall River MA, they have an attraction called Battleship Cove, which has the U.S.S. Massachussetts as well as a submarine, and you can go on both. (The U.S.S. Missouri in Pearl Harbor, likewise.) It's amazing and impressive to realize the basic level of technology back then, and what they managed to accomplish.

Here's a pic I took 12 years ago of a friend of mine standing under the guns. Keep in mind he's over 6' tall.

I've seen it before when I was in Fall River, but have never been onboard. Neat ship.

Recently toured the USS Wisconsin in Norfolk, VA. Very neat.

Very cool frazod. I toured the Intrepid back in 2000 in NY before they spent all the money to refurbish it. We didn't get to walk very far below decks and I understand why now.

I was there with a buddy that actually fought in the Pacific for the Navy and he saw her several times in theater but had never stepped on deck. He died in April but I remember watching him look around the deck at things I never noticed. Like he had checked it out before from a distance and was reliving it.

Nicest dude that ever walked this world. He even attended the big bash at nzoner's once. RIP Bill.

Yes.

I watched the fireworks from the deck last year. Toured it before but I wish the shuttle was there at that point. It was pretty cool. They have a mock video/interaction where the ship is getting bombed and they have smoke come out where a bomb hit and killed a lot of sailors. They also have a to scale Lego model of the ship which is cool as hell. All the planes of different eras on the deck is also pretty cool.
