I'm the 5th ship of the Essex-class carriers, Intrepid! That's right, I'm one of the strongest carrier sisters of that war, mass-produced to serve as fleet carriers![2] Even after the war ended, I was modernized, becoming one of the pioneers of modern carriers with an angled deck[3] and more. After I was decommissioned, I became a Sea, Air, and Space Museum on the Hudson River.
