Intrepid: The Epic Story of America's Most Legendary Warship...  The USS Intrepid is a warship unlike any other. The 27,000-ton, Essex-class aircraft carrier has sailed into harm's way around the globe. At Leyte Gulf, the largest naval battle in history, she sank Japanese warships and endured kamikaze and torpedo attacks. She fought at Okinawa and other Pacific battles, surviving to be the recovery ship for America's first astronauts and returning to action in Vietnam.

This legendary history is brought to life in a stirring tribute complete with personal recollections of those who served on Intrepid, along with dramatic photographs, timelines, maps, and vivid descriptions of the deadly conflicts she endured. Converted into a popular New York City attraction during the 1980s, the Intrepid has undergone extensive renovations. Released just in time for this waterborne museum's much-anticipated reopening, Intrepid powerfully captures the human element in the ship's rich history and connects her stories to those of today's courageous men and women in uniform.
