A very readable account of one of America's greatest fighting ships. This is a very good overview of the Intrepid's long career including it's conversion into the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. One interesting incident is her return to service in the aftermath of 9/11. The FBI's NY Bureau's headquarters at 7 World Trade Center was destroyed and Intrepid became the FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force emergency headquarters. Overall a very enjoyable read.
