Drydock in Bayonne???

[AFT_LOVER]

Just saw a mention on FoxNews of a Navy ship that has been docked in NYC called the Intrepid. She is being towed to a drydock to toally repair her old age woes for multi million fee.

 

I thought RCL bought the old Navy yard there for their ships? If so then how is the Navy doing drydock & RCL doesn't???

Hi...Yes, the ship Intrepid was moved from NYC to Bayonne. You have never heard of the Intrepid? I live in Bayonne, and No RCCL does not own the ship yard.

That Aircraft Carrier to be precise...what you are referring to has been at the same spot for 25 years...it is now going in for repairs and no RCI didnt buy the navy yard...

The WWII-era aircraft carrier -- which has served as the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum for nearly 25 years -- is bound for drydock in Bayonne, NJ, where its hull will be sandblasted and repainted. Crews in Manhattan will use the time to rebuild Pier 86, the Intrepid's home since 1982.

The Intrepid is due to return to the pier in the fall of 2008, with its exhibit spaces completely reconditioned. Its impressive fleet of airplanes and helicopters will also sport new paint jobs.

 

The Bayonne Drydock company handles mostly military ships and is 300 feet from the Royal Caribbean terminal, but the shipyard is owned by Michael Cranston, not RCCL.
