One of the museums that I visited on my last trip to New York City was the Intrepid Museum, a museum dedicated to aviation, space, and sea. The museum is named after the "Intrepid", a 1940s aircraft carrier, where a large display of military aircraft from around the world can be seen on deck with additional exhibits inside the ship.
There is also a submarine to visit, called the "USS Growler", which was used in the Cold War. Visitors could wander through the lower part of the submarine and see where the crew lived and worked.
Missiles were stored here.
We went in a one-way tour through the submarine museum at our own pace and saw various living, working, and social areas.
A control room
A bedroom for some of the higher levels in the crew
A control communications room
Kitchen
Officer's room
Missiles
After visiting the submarine, I went up to the aircraft carrier to have a look around.
There is also a space museum here with one of the spacecraft - Enterprise.
We could also explore the "Intrepid" working areas.
There was also a model of the ship with planes inside the carrier.
This is an informative museum if you enjoy history and aircraft, seacraft, and space. The museum is open daily and is a short walk from Hell's Kitchen.
