Corsair is home. On March 18, 1945, 19 U.S. Navy F4U Corsair fighter-bombers flew off USS Intrepid as part of a final push to end the war in the Pacific. While their mission was successful, two aircraft did not return.

Now, nearly 78 years to that date, segments of one of the missing aircraft, found by a fisherman off the coast of Japan in 2006, have made the long journey back to Intrepid. The Museum will debut an exhibition in August with these segments of the Corsair, and will also tell the story of Pilot Loren Isley, who flew that fateful mission.

This image shows a pie-eating contest that took place during WWII in 1944. The contest transpired on the forward aircraft elevator (where the Lutnick Theater is today) and served as entertainment for the crew.

Working on an aircraft carrier was hazardous duty both in times of war and peace. In its 31 years of active service, 250 of Intrepid’s crewmembers made the ultimate sacrifice.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the last Intrepid crew member to die in the line of duty, when Richard F. Urban lost his life. We honor all of their memories.

This , we honor the work of women in uniform during World War II and today. During World War II, women answered the call to serve. Hundreds of thousands joined the military, serving as WAVES, WACs, SPARs, WASPs, Marines and nurses. Millions more worked in factories, building ships, planes and other essentials.

During their service on Intrepid, sailors liked to express themselves in unexpected ways, sometimes going to great lengths to decorate their spaces in the ship itself. There are numerous examples of drawings or paintings done by sailors throughout the ship. 🎨

Career petty officers are the backbone of the Navy. They convey hard-earned wisdom and experience to the next generation of sailors and officers. Otha Lewis arrived on USS Intrepid in 1961 as a young machinist's mate. Two decades later, he retired from the Navy as a chief petty officer.

Yesterday marked the 30th anniversary of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The Intrepid Museum’s Director, Protective Services Cory Cuneo was a first responder and hero that day and his bravery was recognized in The New York Times. He will also speak on a panel at the 9/11 Museum tonight surrounding that anniversary.

Thirty years ago today, Tim Lang was injured in the first attack on the twin towers, an ominous but often overlooked prelude to 9/11. He does not forget.

On this day in 1966, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara announced that Intrepid would be deployed to Vietnam. Due to growing US involvement in the Vietnam War, Intrepid is reassigned from anti-submarine duty in the Atlantic to operating attack aircraft off the coast of Vietnam.

Life in Space with NASA Astronaut Jessica Watkins

Life in Space with NASA Astronaut Jessica Watkins

In April 2022, NASA Astronaut Jessica Watkins launched as a mission specialist on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station. During her six-month stay in space, she and her fellow crew members observed geological changes on Earth and conducted a variety of experiments in microgravity, including studying the effects of long-duration spaceflight on humans. Join us for a special conversation between Watkins and former NASA Astronaut Mike Massimino, live from Intrepid Museum’s Kids Week festivities, where they will discuss life in space and what’s next for Watkins as part of the Artemis Team.

In 1944, Harriet Pickens and Frances Wills were sworn into the U.S. Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Voluntary Service). This moment was a victory for Black community organizers, who had challenged the Navy's ban on Black women in the WAVES. Lieutenant (jg) Pickens and Ensign Wills were the first and only Black women to serve as commissioned officers during World War II.
