After a two-year refurbishing stint away from its West Side pier home, the U.S.S. Intrepid is making a grand return today. The aircraft carrier will be led by a U.S. Coast Guard Cutter as well as the same tugboats that eventually pulled it from its muddy spot--and NYC fireboats will have red, white and blue water sprays. The Intrepid will be leaving its homeport in Staten Island around 11:30 a.m. and is expected to pass the Statue of LIberty at around 12:15 p.m. Then it will stop near Ground Zero to unfurl an American flag, and should be at Pier 86 (46th St & 12th Ave) by 1:30 p.m. The U.S.S. Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum is scheduled to reopen on November 8.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Are the times listed here accurate? I might take my lunch down by the river if it's going to be around noon-ish.
That's cool - the west side didn't look right without it.
It's perfectly ship-shape now that the motor has been fixed by Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD.
I think these are fairly accurate. Oh, and if you go I think Pier 84 is open to the public, but Pier 86 is closed for a private event (probably Intrepid folks celebrating the return!).
wow, two years already? fantastic!
SWEET! Here's a Hockney'd image I shot of her in October of 2006: http://www.flickr.com/photos/edstern/301119903
Thanks for the heads up, Jen. I knew it was coming back soon, but I would have totally missed it.
