# USS Intrepid (CV-11/Cva-11/Cvs-11): From World War II, Korea, and Vietnam to Museum Ship - Hardcover

by **David Doyle** (Author)

USS _Intrepid_, the "Fighting I," was one of America's longest-serving aircraft carriers. Launched during WWII, _Intrepid_ and her crews weathered kamikazes, torpedoes, and typhoons throughout three years of heavy combat.

-   Decommissioned after WWII, _Intrepid_ was recommissioned in 1955 and designated as an attack carrier (CVA), and in 1961 as an antisubmarine warfare carrier (CVS).
-   In the early 1960s, _Intrepid_ served to retrieve some of the nation's first astronauts during the pioneering Mercury and Gemini spaceflights.
-   In 1966, _Intrepid_ made the first of three deployments to the Tonkin Gulf for combat operations with Carrier Air Wing 10 during the Vietnam War.
-   _Intrepid_ cruised throughout the North Atlantic and Mediterranean in the early 1970s while patrolling for Soviet submarines in antisubmarine operations during the Cold War.

With her days at sea over, _Intrepid_ first hosted the Navy exhibits during the US bicentennial celebrations in 1976, before finding a new home as the _Intrepid_ Sea, Air & Space Museum on the Hudson River waterfront in New York City.
