Intrepid

Posted by
Elaine Hancock (Olney, United States) on 7 March 2018 in Transportation.

From the archives. Launched in 1943, the former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid fought in World War II. The ship later served in the Vietnam War. Intrepid also served as a NASA recovery vessel in the 1960s. It was decommissioned in 1974, and today is berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.

Wow!! it's a very great picture. I like a lot. And more, casually the wreckage from the USS Lexington (know as Lady Lex), an aircraft carrier that sank during the WWII, has been found in the Coral Sea by a search team. The wreckage was found on Sunday.

@Graciel·la (Vic. Catalonia): That is amazing! I will have to read up on it.

Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
