Fighting I Fund
Intrepid, whose hull number was CV-11, repeatedly endured kamikaze attacks and torpedo strikes throughout World War II. Despite these blows, the ship and its crew returned to combat each time, earning the nickname "Fighting I." Your support enables us to preserve Intrepid’s historical spaces, collections and stories so that millions more can learn from all that this ship represents.
This year, we are celebrating the 80th commissioning anniversary of the aircraft carrier Intrepid, a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece engineering marvel of the Intrepid Museum. Make an $80 gift (or whatever you can) in support of the Museum's mission to preserve the stories of service and inspire future generations—or you may choose to direct your donation towards one of our many important initiatives. We thank you for your support.
Members receive a range of benefits while providing necessary support that helps the Museum preserve stories of service and inspire future generations.
We hope you will join us in supporting the exhibitions, programs and ongoing preservation efforts that honor the legacy of Intrepid and inspire all visitors who walk its historic decks.
