While the girls took in the works at MoMA Peter went to see a work of Military significance the USS Aircraft Carrier, the Intrepid.
As long as the Chrysler building is tall, this carrier first used in the second world war launched fighter pilots to jet pilots depending on the era it was deployed in.
In the mid forties this ship was bombed by kamikazee pilots and survived. A plaque aboard ship lists the names of those injured or killed in this attack.
Retired in 2007, this piece of Military history now rest in the Hudson River as a museum for all to see the glory of it rich military past.
