If that’s CV-11, she picked up Gus Grissom and John Young at the end of the Gemini 3 flight.

Nice to see the ole girl back home.

Too bad Intrepid couldn't have made it back for Fleet Week.

When Intrepid was a museum ship in NYC, my father and a bunch of old vets were invited to volunteer as 'crew' aboard doing small tasks and entertaining tourists with sea stories. NYC had numerous volunteers and a Big Attraction.

May she always have three fathoms beneath her keel.
