Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum was originally the vision of Zachary Fisher, who spent 24 million of his own money in order to save the Intrepid from being sent to the scrap yard. His vision was to make the Intrepid a lasting memorial to those who sacrificed their lives for our country, to educate the public, and to inspire our youth.

From the time she was commissioned in 1943 to the time she was declared a National Historic Landmark, the U.S.S. Intrepid sailed the Four Corners of the world. 

She took part in the largest naval engagement in history, served as a prime recovery vessel for NASA and completed three tours of duty during the Vietnam Conflict.

The U.S.S. Intrepid emerged with an enviable record - a tribute to the courage and leadership of the thousands of sailors that proudly served onboard.

The Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum annually draws over 600,000 visitors a year. The Museum has become a must see attraction known worldwide
