August 16, 2025, marks the 82nd anniversary of the commissioning of USS Intrepid, the World War II-era Essex class aircraft carrier that is now a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of the Intrepid Museum.
Intrepid was one of the most successful and stalwart ships in U.S. history. Nicknamed “The Fighting I” by its crew, Intrepid served in the Pacific during World War II, surviving five kamikaze attacks and one torpedo strike.
To celebrate the milestone, the Museum will host a special ceremony, honoring former crew members from all eras of the carrier’s service, who will reunite and share stories of their tours of duty. The ceremony will take place on the hangar deck at 11:30am EDT and is open to the public. Former Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro and Museum President Susan Marenoff-Zausner will offer remarks.
