The Intrepid Museum, an American military and maritime history museum, opened to the public on August 2, 1982. Today, 40 years later, Intrepid, now a National Historic Landmark, serves as the centerpiece of the entire Museum complex. The museum showcases the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, the cruise missile submarine USS Growler, a Concorde SST, a Lockheed A-12 supersonic reconnaissance plane, and the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. The Intrepid served the U.S. Navy for over three decades and played a role in World War II, the Cold War, the US space program, and the Vietnam War.


Both paper and digital QSL cards will be available. Find the QRZ specifics of this one-day event here. For more information about visiting the museum itself, go to www.intrepidmuseum.org
