ntrprnr 0 #1 December 5, 2006 The Intrepid made it out of its dock this morning, and is on its way to a two-year face lift. Shot these from my parent's pied-a-terre on 42nd and 12th, about 30 minutes ago. Safe travels, Intrepid! I look forward to throwing client events on your decks again when you return!!_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?" "Even in freefall, I have commitment issues."

Give me their name. I want it. I actually didn't know you could take a tour until a few days ago and thought it would be cool to do. If it's getting overhauled to go back into service though more power to it. I can just get a private tour of an operational one when I visit my friend, who is in the Navy.

Rebecca 0 #7 December 5, 2006 Yippee! At first, I read your last line as, "I look forward to throwing clients off your decks again when you return!!" you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jimmytavino 16 #16 December 5, 2006 Thanks guys, for the info. i've been following the saga since they had trouble pulling it free from it's pier, back a few months ago.. every so often the newspaper would have an update about it... I Saw it up close a few times, but have never been on board... The airplanes caught my attention but the vessel earned my respect...good that the dredging operation was successful and the Intrepid is now afloat.. how cool to live near enough to that , to have seen it live... great !!! thanks for the pictures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Shawndiver 0 #17 December 5, 2006 Awesome!!Amazing ship, I spent hours on it when I was back there in July! Looking forward to seeing it again after the refit. I understand they plan to open up quite a bit more of the lower deck areas to the public._________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AnnasSkies 0 #18 December 5, 2006 QuotePeter, So WTF is a "pied-a-terre?" if you translate it: feet-on-ground... so I don't know why you use this...fear is the mindkill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites usedtajump 1 #19 December 5, 2006 I watched this on TV this morning.
