| This 69-year-old aircraft carrier had a distinguished 39-year career before it became the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. The ship underwent a 2-year, $120 million renovation in 2006–8 (but not before the Navy had to spend an additional, unexpected $3 million to dredge 39,000 cubic yards of muck so the ship could be moved—oops). She's looking good now, and next month will become the new home of the Space Shuttle Enterprise. [To see more abc Wednesday, go here.] |
