You are approaching the USS Intrepid, an Essex class aircraft carrier that earned the nickname The Fighting I for its refusal to sink during the height of the Pacific War. Despite suffering a direct torpedo strike and five separate kamikaze attacks during World War Two, the ship stayed afloat and continued its mission. This remarkable resilience became the defining trait of the vessel, which remained in service for over thirty years through three separate wars.
