Speaking of trips I also took a trip to New York and visited the
Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum
featuring the ww2 carrier "Intrepid" and the submarine U.S.S Growler. (made 1954)
For those other history buffs out there you can check out my pics from there here:
U.S.S Growler
U.S.S Intrepid
The Intrepid is post-war modified though so its not in original configuration as it was during the war.
Enjoy!
