The document outlines an exhibition at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum called "On the Line: Intrepid and the Vietnam War". It considers the Vietnam War through the lens of the USS Intrepid, which served three tours of duty off Vietnam between 1966-1969. The exhibition includes artifacts, photographs, and oral histories from crew members to provide insight into this period. A number of public programs and educational opportunities are also advertised that are related to the exhibition and Vietnam War.

Vietnam War through the lens
of the Intrepid experience.
HISTORY WHERE IT HAPPENED.
One Intrepid Square, West 46th Street and 12th Avenue, NYC
EXHIBITION OVERVIEW
COLD WAR FEARS
Fearing the spread of Communism in
Southeast Asia, the United States escalated
its involvement in Vietnam.
INTREPID RETURNS TO COMBAT The ship was
modified in February 1966 and sent to
Southeast Asia to join Operation Rolling Thunder.
THE AIR WAR Intrepid was a floating military
airfield, and the flight deck was the center of
the action. Intrepid’s flight deck crew worked
physically demanding jobs in dangerous
conditions.
LIFE “ON THE LINE” Air operations were the ship’s
purpose, but many skills were required on board. To
relax, men sought out opportunities for leisure and
liberty while “off the line.”
MIA AND POWS Intrepid pilots faced the dangers of
warfare, including the risk of going MIA or becoming
a POW.
THE UNPOPULAR WAR
The antiwar movement escalated,
affecting Intrepid crew members and
dividing American society.
COMING HOME Intrepid crew members recall
coming home and readjusting to civilian life
after Operation Rolling Thunder came to an end.
