Airman Glen V. Turner, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Turner of Route 1, Owen
(Clark Co., Wis.), is serving aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Intrepid.
The Intrepid is now completing a major overhaul at the Philadelphia Naval
Shipyard. The ship is being converted from a "special" attack carrier back to
its former role of anti-submarine warfare carrier.
Almost 900 feet long, the Intrepid has aboard all the facilities of a modern
city. It has everything it needs to make it a self-supporting community, from a
hospital to a soda fountain.
The ship has a crew of over 3,000 officers and men. It is home ported in
Norfolk, Va.
