"The story of the Intrepid is as fresh and exciting today as it when the great ship was in the thick of the most ferocious sea battles ever. We're so lucky to have her around to remind us of past glories and dangerous times." - Tom Brokaw, author and news anchor

The life history of the aircraft carrier Intrepid. Definitely an interesting subject, but the book tends to under-develop stories of incidents and the last few chapters degrade into rah-rah for the ship and individuals who championed saving it.
Excellent & moving - especially Zachary Fisher's bringing the warship to NYC.
For a book that's fairly light reading, I found it rather enjoyable. The title pretty much says it all - it's about the USS Intrepid from her launching to becoming a current-day museum in NYC.
Amazing story of the WW II carrier now in NYC
