Intrepid Museum

                                  Intrepid

   Hey gamers! I want to talk to you guys about the Intrepid. The Intrepid is a really big warship that fought in World War II, but now it is retired and used as a museum. The museum is located in New York. I wanted to talk about this because it relates to Call of Duty and Battlefield. The ship holds tons of airplanes. Like the Blackbird in Black Ops. There are many different controls and it had many decks. The SR-71 Blackbird was used for the air force. I think it was used for for spying like it was used for in Call of Duty. The A-12 Blackbird was on the Flight Deck of The Intrepid. It was used in World War II. It was on the ship and active for about 5 years.
Hangar Deck
  The Hangar Deck is used for storing the airplanes. The Hangar Deck is the third deck. Most likely the Hangar Deck is the largest deck in the ship. This deck was important because it was where the planes were stored so that it wasn't so crowded on the Flight Deck. Most of the pilots spend their time here to get the planes ready or get them to the Flight Deck.
Intrepid Facts
   I learned that the ship was struck by kamikazes which are suicidal planes. 69 soldiers were killed by the kamikazes. We need to give many thanks to these soldiers that sacrificed their lives for our protection. The Intrepid was home to 3,000 soldiers that slept in the Berthing Areas,and ate in the Mess Deck. They didn't have much room in those areas either. Imagine if you had to sleep on a tiny bed and eat with 3,000 other people. These soldiers did that for five years.The lockers used for storage was small and you had to share the small locker with two other people, and that is why the locker is called a three-man locker. I found out that the torpedo room was in the Growler Submarine. This is where the torpedoes were launched to shoot the submarines. To be the one to shoot the torpedoes was a responsible job, because the torpedoes are very dangerous and could cause the ship to sink if you shoot it wrong.
