  • Aircraft Collection
    A, AIR & SPA ID SE CE MU REP SEU INT M AIRCRAFT COLLECTION From the Avenger torpedo bomber, a stalwart from Intrepid’s World War II service, to the A-12, the spy plane from the Cold War, this collection reflects some of the GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN MILITARY AVIATION. Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

Originally built as the TBF by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, they were affectionately nicknamed “Turkeys” for their somewhat ungainly appearance. Bomber Torpedo In 1943 Grumman was tasked to build the F6F Hellcat fighter for the Navy.

  • Trip to New York George Crooks and Joe Ryen
    Henry Morris Report – Trip to New York George Crooks and Joe Ryen After obtaining the grant from the Henry Morris Memorial Trust, we flew out to New York on the 18th of July. We stayed with relatives just north of the city for a couple days and spent this time relaxing and visiting sights around the local area. This portion of the trip was funded by ourselves. However, on the Sunday, we took a day trip into New York City and used the funds provided to pay for bus fares into the city, and expenses whilst there. Later on in the week we did another trip into the city, where we stayed in an apartment provided by relatives for a night, and visited family in Princeton where we also stayed for a night. We then returned to the city and spent another night in the apartment, before returning to family north of the city. During this time, the grant provided by the trust covered all travel expenses. The money also allowed us to see major engineering sights around the city and covered the small living expenses that we had for the few days. USS Intrepid: During our day trip into New York City on the Sunday 21st July, we visited the United States Intrepid, a disused aircraft carrier turned museum. The cost of this was $33 per person, and allowed us access to the huge aircraft carrier and attached submarine. The USS Intrepid first served in the second world war and continued to be used in various locations for several decades.

The first consists of observations and reflections on some of New York City's many war memorials, ranging from one commemorating the Revolutionary War to one dedicated this past year for the Korean War. What becomes evident within the wide range of memorials, is the degree to which they can be used to gauge the political sentiment and aspirations of previous epochs. In the second section I examine the aircraft carrier USS Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum of Patriotism, as a case study of how a contemporary memorial functions within and propagates a particular ideological agenda. This "living" memoriaVmuseum works as a reminder of past threats to nationhood, and of the necessity to retain the state military apparatus to prevent future aggressions.

  • R.Baker & Son Completes Rigging Project for U.S.S
    summer 2008 OUTRIGGERthe ALL INDUSTRIAL SERVICES R. Baker & Son Magazine Veteran Owned and Operated R.BAKER & SON COMPLETES RIGGING PROJECT FOR U.S.S. INTREPID MUSEUM April 2008 - R. Baker & Son All Industrial Services, a global dismantlement, decommissioning and demo- lition contractor, was entrusted with the rigging, removal and care of some of our nation’s most historical and prized military aircraft and artifacts from the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City. The USS Intrepid was one of the most successful aircraft carriers in U.S. maritime history. “The Fight- ing I”, as she was nicknamed, launched fighter planes in World War II, served three combat tours in Vietnam, and twice served as the primary recovery vessel for NASA spacecraft. Decommissioned in 1974, she was reborn in 1982 as the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum, and is now considered a national historic landmark. When she underwent a recent $8 million dollar interior renovation, R. Baker & Son became involved in the project. R. Baker & Son was contracted to first perform the rigging and relocation of several aircraft slated for restoration. Careful planning and coordination, including critical lift plans for each pick, was neces- sary to ensure that the priceless aircraft were not damaged. The planes were rigged down from the flight deck using a 120-ton hydraulic crane, spreader bar, associated rigging gear and a 4-5 man crew. From there, they were rigged onto flatbeds or barges. Using the same crew and equipment, several already-refurbished aircraft were then rigged up to the flight deck.

  • Great Ships of the US Navy USS Intrepid
    January/February 2010 THE TEXAS STRIKER Page 6 Great Ships of The U. S. Navy U.S.S. Intrepid The fourth Intrepid (CV-11) was launched 26 April 1943, by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va.; sponsored by Mrs. John Howard Hoover; and commissioned 16 August, Captain Thomas L. Sprague in command. She arrived at Pearl Harbor 10 Jan. 1944 and sortied with carriers Cabot and Essex to raid islands in the Kwajalein Atoll, destroying all of the 83 Japanese planes on Roi and Namur. Intrepid then headed for Truk. Three carrier groups arrived on the 17th, sinking two destroyers and 200,000 tons of merchant shipping in 2 days. On 17 Feb. 1944, an aerial torpedo struck Intrepid's starboard quarter, flooding several compartments and jamming her rudder. Two days later, strong winds pointed her toward Tokyo! The crew fashioned a jury-rig sail of hatch covers and scrap canvas which swung Intrepid about and held her on course. Decorated by her crazy-quilt sail, Intrepid stood into Pearl on 24 Feb.1944. After repairs, Intrepid's planes struck Japanese positions in the Palaus 6-7 Sep. Her fast carrier task force then struck airfields on Mindanao 9-10 Sep. She struck throughout the Philippines, also pounding Okinawa and Formosa. On 24 Oct., an Intrepid plane spotted Admiral Kurita's flagship, Yamato. Planes from Intrepid and Cabot begin a day-long attack until the mighty battleship Musashi with her mammoth 18-inch guns had been sunk and her sister ship Yamato damaged, along with battleships Nagato and Haruna.
