Gordon, you have certainly pushed me to do better work on my carriers! My 1/350 Essex is being built with your standards in mind, and I hope it to look as nice as your builds have looked to me.

The USS Intrepid CV-11 is now finished. The Dazzle camo made this an interesting build. I hope you have enjoyed the build as mush as I have.

I moved this from WIP to Completed Models, Gordon, since you are now finished. Excellent work!

I didn't see this build while it was in WIP but was very interested to read through it now. Very nicely done and well documented too.

FWIW, I believe that �McKeesport� (name of a suburb of Pittsburgh, name bestowed upon the severed bow section of USS Pittsburgh) remained inverted throughout her lassoing and subsequent salvage.
