I was in NYC for the first time a few months ago in Hell's Kitchen. Looked out of the window from the top floor of a loft we were in and could see the USS Intrepid out the window. I wish I would have realized this sooner.

Don't forget the Space Shuttle Enterprise complete with its own separate pavilion; aircraft carriers are indeed ginormous, and that's just an ancient WWII model: https://www.intrepidmuseum.org/Space_Shuttle_Pavilion.aspx

I forgot about it, and yeah, the Space Shuttle itself is pretty big and impressive. So this makes the size of the aircraft carrier even more amazing.

For anyone thinking about going (highly recommended, it's a great museum) the Concorde is currently elsewhere for maintenance. It's supposed to be back early next year.
