| Summary |
The USS Intrepid is a warship unlike any other. Since her launching in 1943, the 27,000-ton, Essex-class aircraft carrier has sailed into harm?s way around the globe. During World War II, she fought her way across the Pacific -- Kwajalein, Truk, Peleliu, Formosa, the Philippines, Okinawa?surviving kamikaze and torpedo attacks and covering herself with glory. The famous ship endured to become a Cold War attack carrier, recovery ship for America?s first astronauts, and a three-tour combatant in Vietnam. |
