NEW YORK, NY October 02, 2008 —After nearly two years away, the USS Intrepid is coming home today and taking its old spot off Manhattan's West Side.

The historic aircraft carrier, fresh from a 22 month, $120 million restoration, will be towed up New York Harbor and slotted into its familiar Hudson River berth.

The floating military and space museum will reopen to the public on November 8 with a large celebration on Veterans Day, November 11. The museum will offer new exhibits and facilities for public events along with visitor access to crew quarters and other spaces previously off-limits.
