New York NY – Seventy-five years ago, the U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid was commissioned on August 16, 1943, and sent into World War II for combat in the Pacific. It was later used during the Cold War and the Vietnam War. Since that time, Intrepid has retired from duty and become a museum of history, science, and technology. To honor the ship’s 75th anniversary since its commissioning, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum will welcome veterans who served on Intrepid, their families, and the public to the ship and celebrate their courage. The entire year of 2018 has held exciting events and exhibitions for Intrepid, and they just get better and better! Visit throughout the month of August to join fun, insightful events like the 75th anniversary weekend, movie screenings aboard the ship, and astronomy nights for the whole family.
