2. The Time The USS Intrepid Was Unable to Be Moved

During renovations to the USS Intrepid in 2006, it was discovered that the ship was immovable. After 24 years in this location, mud and silt had accumulated under the carrier. The first attempt to pull the ship from port resulted in a $3 million project to remove the obstruction.
