Have you ever sat in an
airplane at takeoff and
thought about how huge an
aircraft carrier must be for
it to be a floating runway?
Headquarters is now offering a chance to see for
yourself with a museum
pass for the Intrepid Sea,
Air & Space Museum.
Climb through the levels
of the USS Intrepid and learn
about the ship’s history and
what life was like for the
service members who lived
on it. While you’re there,
step down into the submarine Growler, which was
once a secret missile command center.
