Art Gottlieb returns to the DMA to talk with us about the history of the USS Intrepid. Launched in 1943, this former aircraft carrier fought in World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike. The ship later served in the Cold War and then the Vietnam War. Intrepid also served as a NASA recovery vessel in the 1960s. It was decommissioned in 1974 and, today, is berthed on the Hudson River as the centerpiece of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum. Art has served as a professional curator of naval history and technical director of exhibits at the museum. His presentation will cover the full history of the Intrepid from keel laying through her service history up to the present day. Arranged by Tom Lom
