New York Photo Gallery - USS Intrepid
The USS Intrepid had a colourful history, serving in Vietnam as well as picking up capsules from various space missions. It has been turned into a museum, offering a glimpse of naval life with plenty of rooms open to the public. Be sure to see the space shuttle Enterprise, built in 1976. On the deck are a large selection of aircraft, with my favourite being the retired British Airways Concorde.

This aircraft was previously registered as G-BOAD, which first flew in August 1976 and entered service for British Airways in December. Its fastest flight across the Atlantic was only 2 hours and 52 minutes in 1996, and the aircraft was finally retired in 2003 after 23,397 flight hours and 8406 landings.

Be sure to visit USS Growler, the world's oldest nuclear missile submarine. It went on secret missions along the Soviet Union's coast from 1958-64.
