We are in the midst of restoring Intrepid's medical facility, called Sick Bay. Artifacts donated by former crew members help us in bringing the space back to its original appearance and tell the story of Intrepid.

Women served in every branch of the military during WWII. Lily Gridley enlisted in the WAVES and became a commissioned officer in the Marines.
She was the first woman to become a Judge Advocate General (JAG) in the Marine Corps and retired as a lieutenant colonel in 1965.

When one person joins the Navy, it affects their entire family. Intrepid families hoped for the best and feared the worst. Hear Patricia McGlinchy recall grappling with the loss of her husband. #WomensHistoryMonth
