Artist Ed Diment used 250,000 lego bricks to assemble an amazing 22-foot-long, 550 pound model of the USS Intrepid. The model USS Intrepidis nearly 4.5 feet high and 4.5 feet wide, it took three people (with a number of other helpers) over 9 months to build!

You can see it for real in the USS intrepid museum in New York where it is currently berthed.

The USS Intrepid is one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers that was built during the Second World War for the United States Navy.

After being commissioned in August 1943, the USS Intrepid fought in a number of battles in the Pacific War, the most notable of which was the Battle of Leyte Gulf. On April 16th, 1945 she was hit by a Kamikaze which took the life of 8 members of her crew. Damage control parties were able to extinguish the fires quickly and within an hour airplanes were able to land again.
After World War II she was decommissioned, but in the early 1950s she was recommissioned as an attack carrier and later an antisubmarine carrier

She served mainly in the Atlantic but participated in the Vietnam War too. Some of her most important achievements include being the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission.

She was decommissioned in 1974 and in 1982 she became the foundation of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
