The USS Intrepid Steaming Through The Pacific Ocean During World War II. Brave Ship Brave Men (Bluejacket Books)

A Ship of Legend

The USS Intrepid was one of the most decorated ships in the United States Navy during World War II. Commissioned in 1943, she served in the Pacific theater and participated in some of the most critical battles of the war, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf and the Battle of Iwo Jima.

The Intrepid was known for her extraordinary resilience. She was torpedoed twice and hit by kamikaze attacks on several occasions, but she always managed to survive and return to action. Her crew earned the nickname "the Men of Intrepid" for their unwavering courage and determination.

A Crew of Heroes

The crew of the Intrepid was a diverse group of men from all walks of life. They came from different backgrounds and had different reasons for serving, but they were united by a common goal: to defend their country and protect the freedoms they held dear.

Among the crew were ordinary sailors who performed extraordinary acts of bravery. There was the young gunner who manned his anti-aircraft gun for hours on end, despite the intense enemy fire. There was the damage control officer who risked his life to repair a critical leak in the ship's hull. And there was the pilot who flew his plane into a kamikaze attack to save his shipmates.

A Legacy of Courage

The USS Intrepid was decommissioned in 1974 and is now a museum ship in New York City. She is a living reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the men who served on her during World War II.

'Brave Ship Brave Men' is a gripping account of the Intrepid's extraordinary journey. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and resilience that will inspire and move readers of all ages.
