USS Intrepid Sticker — The Fighting I
They tried to sink Intrepid five times during World War II. Five times, she came back swinging.
USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11) was an Essex-class aircraft carrier that compiled one of the most remarkable survival records in naval history. Commissioned in 1943, Intrepid survived five kamikaze strikes and one torpedo hit during World War II, earning the nickname “The Fighting I” and “The Evil I” from the Japanese. She went on to serve as an attack carrier during the Cold War and as an anti-submarine warfare carrier, and later served as a recovery ship for NASA’s Mercury and Gemini space programs. Today, Intrepid is preserved as the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
Perfect For: USS Intrepid veterans, WWII Pacific theater historians, museum ship visitors, Essex-class carrier enthusiasts, and naval heritage sticker collectors.
