USS Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, {CATEGORY}

After almost 2 years in drydock, the USS Intrepid returned to citywide open arms to its now refurbished home on Pier 86 on Veteran's Day 2008. The most astonishing thing about the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid is how it can be simultaneously so big and so small. It's a few football fields long, weighs 40,000 tons, holds 40 aircraft, and sometimes doubles as a ballroom for society functions. But stand there and think about landing an A-12 jet on the deck and suddenly it's minuscule. Furthermore, in the narrow passageways below, you'll find it isn't quite the roomiest of vessels. Now a National Historic Landmark, the exhibit also includes the naval destroyer USS Edson and the submarine USS Growler, the only intact strategic missile submarine open to the public anywhere in the world, as well as a collection of vintage and modern aircraft, including the A-12 Blackbird, the world's fastest spy plane, and a retired British Airways Concorde jet. Kids just love this place. They, and you, can climb inside a replica Revolutionary War submarine, sit in an A-6 Intruder cockpit, and follow the progress of America's astronauts as they work in space. There are even navy flight simulators - including a "Fly with the Blue Angels" program - for educational thrill rides in the Technologies Hall. Look for family-oriented activities and events at least 1 Saturday a month. The program "All Hands on Deck" teaches children and adults how things work on ships, plus there's an AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter. The action-packed Intrepid Wings shows aircraft carrier take-offs and recoveries in the new Allison and Howard Lutnick Theater, the film runs continuously throughout the day. The exhibit "Remembering 9/11" recalls those lost, both civilians and rescuers. The grand visitor center makes for an impressive entrance, and the massive museum store is well stocked, goods include NYPD and FDNY logo gear. Dress warmly for a winter visit - it's almost impossible to heat an aircraft carrier. The Return of the Intrepid - When the World War II aircraft carrier USS Intrepid first lowered its gangplank as a museum, in 1982, I don't believe there were very many New Yorkers who thought it would become the huge hit it has. (There are more than 750,000 visitors each year). Formally called the USS Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, when this monster ship, berthed at Pier 86, first settled into its permanent home, New Yorkers hadn't seen anything like it up close before. It was like having a giant move in next door. And this ship is big. Scarily big. I often ride my bicycle down the pathway near the Hudson River, and every time I ride past the USS Intrepid, I let out an involuntary gasp because of how huge it is. For those of us who had never seen an aircraft carrier in the flesh, much less served on one, everything became real. It seemed, too, that this tourist attraction was so far out of the way - by necessity, in the water - that its future would be somewhat limited. Well, we were wrong. It has not only become a huge star, it has also taken its place in the hearts of all New Yorkers. In the fall of 2006, when the Intrepid was towed to Bayonne, New Jersey, for repairs and repainting, we found ourselves somewhat uncharacteristically moist-eyed. When the ship returned 2 years later, to much pomp and circumstance, officially reopening on November 8, 2008, it was like having an old and dear friend come home.
