Established in 1982 as the real former aircraft carrier USS Intrepid, it is permanently docked at Pier 86 at 46th Street in the Hell’s Kitchen area on the west side of Manhattan. The museum also showcases the former USS Growler submarine, a British Airways Concorde supersonic airplane, the space shuttle Enterprise, and many other interesting military missiles and equipment. The USS Intrepid became a National Historic Landmark in 1986. In 2001, it served as a temporary base headquarters for the FBI investigation as it began its investigation of the September 11 attacks.
