Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

I wonder how many thousands of HP it will require to get that thing out. I read earlier they scrubbed the attempts due to low tide, but before that they had 6 and then 7 tugs pulling it, and it only moved 15 feet :eek:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

"The people doing this have moved a thousand ships bigger than the Intrepid," Intrepid president Bill White said earlier. "A ship that survived five kamikaze attacks is going to make it five miles down river."

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

They need a half a dozen Apaches to move that thing. Tell them tug boys to back away. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

If they leave that boat out a few more nights they won't have to worry about moving it. Someone will strip it and be selling the parts on E-bay. :evilb: :evilb:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Are they moving the museum? Where?

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

To NJ (Bayonne) for repairs.

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

horsepower doesn't mean much when its sitting on the bottom, looks like someone needs a little better gameplan

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

It' not just on the bottom It's in the bottom

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Someone needs to tell these lazy azz people on the deck to quit starring and rock it side to side

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

I didn't know they were moving it...I was just by there the other day. They have to move it to do repairs???

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Why is it that no matter what the thread is, somehow Apache gets into it?


.....and how can we ensure the practice continues?

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

They just called me said put the lil prop on the Mini Hawk. :drink: :evilb:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

they are replacing the intrepid with the concord. the intrepid will stay in bayonne

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Hahahaha!!!

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

9:00 am this morning was supposedly the highest tide of the year for the Hudson River, with the full moon and all(thats why they scheduled the move for today). If they didn't get it out of the silt with all those tugs they are going to have to dredge a lot more than they already did. :rolleyes:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

That water looks like it would eat a lesser boat...

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

It was just on the local news. They'll try again next month. If it won't move. There it sits.

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

port authority must be feeling preatty dumb bout now....

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

The Intrepid was headed to Bayonne for a sixty million dollar overhaul. They are planning on a refit and to open up more interior spaces. It has been sitting in NYC for 20+ years so they decided it was time for maintenence. Intrepid is supposed to return in 2008.

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Gee, Uncle Sam having a hard time getting something done..........What a surprise........

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

There were 6 Tug Boats with a total of 30,000 hp. They were able to move it Approx. 6ft. After 20 years of sitting sideways in the Hudson, being 900+ feet long, I'm sure it collected a hell of alot of silt. The new plan is to dredge around it and pull it out in a month. They are supposedly bringing in 2 other HD Tugs as well.

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

The Navy still owns the Intrepid but leased to Mel Fisher.....

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

Doesn't seem like a whole heck of a lot of forethought was put into this move! :eek: :eek:

Re: Intrepid stuck in MUD Hudson River
 

It still sticks in my craw that 1950's America didn't have the forsight to save the most honored ship in United States Naval history - CV-6 - the USS Enterprise.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CV-6)

USS Enterprise (CV-6), the "Big E", was the sixth aircraft carrier of the United States Navy and the seventh US Navy ship of that name. She was a Yorktown class aircraft carrier, launched in 1936, and one of only three American carriers commissioned prior to World War II that survived the entirety of the war (the others were Saratoga and Ranger). She was the only ship outside of the British Royal Navy to earn the highest award of the British Admiralty Pennant, and participated in nearly every major engagement of the war against Japan, including the Battle of Midway, the Battle of the Eastern Solomons, the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, various other air-sea actions during the Battle of Guadalcanal, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, and the Battle of Leyte Gulf, as well as participating in the "Doolittle Raid" on Tokyo. Enterprise has the distinction of earning 20 battle stars, the most for any U.S. warship in World War II, and was clearly the most important and most centrally-involved of all of them as well. Some have even labelled her the most glorious and honored ship in all of United States Naval history, rivalled only perhaps by the 18th-century frigate USS Constitution.


....................................Enterprise entered the New York Naval Shipyard on 18 January 1946 for inactivation, and was decommissioned on 17 February 1947. Although there were several attempts at preserving the ship as a museum/memorial, the fund raising efforts failed to garner enough money to buy the vessel from the Navy and the "Big E" was sold on 1 July 1958 to the Lipsett Corporation of New York City for scrapping at Kearny, New Jersey.

I wasn't alive at the time yet it still pisses me off that they didn't save the Big E for future generations. :mad:
