The Intrepid is a 40,000 ton, 900 foot-long aircraft carrier which served the Navy from 1943 to 1974. On board, you'll find an awesome collection of aircrafts from WWII to the present including the world's fastest aircraft, a Lockheed A-12 Blackbird. There are also two other vessels at the museum, the USS Edson, "the most thoroughly restored vessel on display at the Intrepid Sea Air Space Museum", and the USS Growler, "the only intact strategic missile submarine open to the public anywhere in the world". For an extra $5, you can fly your own jet mission on the Intrepid Navy Flight Simulator, a new motion-based thrill ride.
