🇺🇸USS Intrepid New York: A legendary battleship riding the waves ⚓

The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York is anchored on the Hudson River. It is a retired World War II heroic ship, full of history and shock. It was commissioned in 1943 and participated in missions in the Pacific War and the Cold War. It was hit five times but still stood firm, earning the reputation of "unsinkable ship". After being decommissioned in 1974, it was converted into a museum and opened to the public in 1982. Today, visitors can board the ship to explore the fighter jets, helicopters, and even the submarine "Growler" and the space shuttle "Enterprise" on the deck, and feel the shock of the interweaving of war and technology ✈️. This place is not only a paradise for military fans, but also the filming location of the movie "National Treasure"! The tour guide recommends entering from the West 46th Street entrance and getting a free map first. The highlight is the flight deck, which displays F-14 fighter jets and A-12 Blackbirds. It is suitable for taking photos when the museum opens at 10 am 📸. There are many narrow stairways inside the ship, so it is important to wear comfortable shoes. The tour order is from the bridge to the engine room and then to the submarine, which takes about 3 hours. Don’t miss the simulated flight experience (extra charge), which will turn you into a pilot in seconds 🕹️! The deck is windy in summer, so bring a light jacket; in winter, there is indoor heating, so it is very comfortable. Take the A, C, or E subway lines to 42nd Street-Port Authority Station, which is a 15-minute walk away. You can also enjoy the river view along the way 🌊.
