Recreated on the footprint of Intrepid ’s original photo lab from its time in service, the unsung role of “photographer’s mates” is examined. The function was critical in documenting all aspects of life on board the ship.
Launched in 1943, Intrepid survived five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike during WWII. The ship later served in the Cold War, the Vietnam War and as a NASA recovery vessel. Today, you can explore its decks like never before.
Introducing 10,000 square feet of never-before-seen artifacts, former crew member oral histories, hands-on experiences, videos, photos and more. The centerpiece showcases a fully intact, fully restored, World War II FG-1D Corsair fighter-bomber, one of the few remaining of its kind.
