Mission Brief
Fighting I. Kamikaze survivor.
USS Intrepid (CV-11) earned the nickname "Fighting I" and later "The Ghost Ship" for her remarkable ability to survive punishment that would have sunk lesser vessels. Commissioned in 1943, this Essex-class carrier survived five kamikaze strikes and one torpedo hit during the Pacific War, each time returning to battle after repairs. Intrepid's aircraft struck targets across the Pacific from Truk to Tokyo, supporting invasions from the Philippines to Okinawa. Post-war service included modernization for jet operations, Vietnam War deployments, and NASA recovery missions before retirement as New York's aircraft carrier museum.
This 1:700 scale build captures an Essex-class carrier in her WWII configuration. From the wooden flight deck and open bow design to the island structure and anti-aircraft batteries, every detail represents American carrier aviation at the height of Pacific War operations.
For WWII naval historians and carrier enthusiasts. A display piece representing the Essex-class carriers that won the Pacific War and the remarkable resilience of American naval engineering.
Build resilience. Honor survival.
