Hey you're from NYC. Me too! I was wondering how many folks from the Big Apple were on this site.

Its great there will be a new USS New York, there hasnt been one since 1945 (BB-34). I'm a little dissappointed the name wasnt reserved for a front line ship like a CG or a DDG rather than a LPH. The last USS New York was a Battleship.

I can answer that, as I was on board USS Intrepid just last month. She being towed to NJ and then Staten Island where she'll undergo a refit, including to re-steel part of the Hull. In addition to renovating the main exhibit area they are also are going to open up parts of the below decks to the public. One of the curators gave me a private tour of the off-limits area, the below decks are in need of major renovation and repair.

The museum will be closed for almost 2 years.
