The aircraft carrier dominates the center of the design, rendered in detailed gray steel tones with the flight deck clearly visible and smaller aircraft positioned across her bow. Behind her sits the American flag, rendered in soft reds and blues with white stars filling the background, creating a patriotic foundation for the ship. The lettering at the top reads "USS INTREPID CVS-11" in thick gold letters with a shadow effect, while below the ship "The Fighting 'I'" appears in matching gold, honoring the carrier's unofficial but beloved nickname. This design belongs to naval history and the tradition of carrier service, blending military pride with respect for those who spent years aboard this floating city.
