The
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is in New York City. It's located on
the banks of the Hudson River on the west side of Manhattan (Pier 86 at
46th Street). The museum presents the former aircraft carrier CV-11 USS
Intrepid, converted into a museum ship, as well as other historical
technical exhibits from the area of the U.S. Naval Forces, Aviation and
Space.
In the days when we were young, around 35 years ago, I visited the
museum in New York in 1987. In 1990 I visited it again with Andy Herzog.
The museum was quite new at that time, it was opened in August 1982. |
Das Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum befindet sich in New York
City. Es liegt am Ufer des Hudson River an der Westseite in Manhattan
(Pier 86 in Höhe 46. Strasse). Das Museum präsentiert den ehemaligen
Flugzeugträger CV-11 USS Intrepid, umgebaut zum Museumsschiff,
sowie weitere historische technische Ausstellungsstücke aus dem Bereich
der U.S. Seestreitkräfte, Luftfahrt und Raumfahrt.
In den Tagen als wir jung waren, also vor rund 35 Jahren besuchte ich 1987
das Museum in New York. 1990 besuchte ich es mit Andy
Herzog erneut. Das Museum war zu dieser Zeit noch recht neu so wurde es
doch erst im August 1982 eröffnet. |

In
addition to the main exhibit, the USS Intrepid, which served in the
Pacific during World War II and was used during the Vietnam War and to
recover NASA's Mercury and Gemini landing-crafts, many aircraft are
displayed as exhibits on the flight deck of the ship. Common types of
U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Army.
Today there are other
aircraft that have nothing to do with naval aviation, such as the
Concorde, the Space Shuttle and the Lockheed A-12 in the museum. |
Neben
dem Hauptexponat, der USS Intrepid, die im Zweiten Weltkrieg im
Pazifik im Einsatz war sowie während des Vietnamkriegs und zur Bergung
von Mercury- und Gemini-Landekapseln der NASA verwendet wurde, sind
viele Flugzeuge als Ausstellungsstücke auf dem Flugdeck des Schiffs
ausgestellt. Darunter verbreitete Typen der U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard
und U.S. Army.
Heute hat es auch andere Flugzeucge die mit der
Marineluftfahrt nichts zu tun haben wie die Concorde, das Space Shuttle
und die Lockheed A-12 im Museum. |

The weckend Marines |

During
my first visit to the USS Intrepid, there weren't not many planes on the
deck. I was amazed from one Boeing-Vertoll CH-46Fs that stood on the
deck, and was quite new. This helicopter was still in use by the HMM-774
from the U.S.Marines The "weekend warriors" had made a little trip to
the USS Intrepid and had just landed on the flight deck. |
Bei
meinem ersten Besuch auf der USS Intrepid befanden sich nicht viele
Flugzeuge auf dem Deck. Ich war erstaunt über einen Boeing-Vertoll
CH-46F, der auf dem Deck stand und ziemlich neu war. Dieser Hubschrauber
wurde noch von der HMM-774 der U.S. Marines benutzt. Die
"Wochenendkrieger" hatten einen kleinen Ausflug zur USS Intrepid gemacht
und waren gerade auf dem Flugdeck gelandet. |

SS-577 USS Growler |
|
|
|
|
Besides
to the USS Intrepid lying the SS-577 USS Growler a submarine with a
Regulus cruise missile. At that time I had decided not to visit this
submarine. |
Neben
der USS Intrepid war die SS-577 USS Growler verankert ein U-Boot mit
einem Regulus Flugkörper. Ich hatte damals auf einen Besuch in diesem
U-Boot verzichtet. |
