Navy Enters Final Dredging Stage For USS Intrepid

The Navy may be ready to move USS Intrepid from its muddy misery early next month, as it enters the final stages of a dredging operation to free the historic aircraft carrier, officials said Tuesday.
Intrepid Foundation officials obtained a monthlong extension on its federal dredging permit Tuesday from the New York State Department of Conservation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, enabling the Navy’s dredging work to continue uninterrupted in the Hudson River, according to Bill White, president of Intrepid Museum Foundation.
