[PAR] [TLE] William Edward Ellis [SEP] Vice admiral William Edward Ellis (November 7, 1908 – September 26, 1982) served over 40 years in the U.S. Navy.  He ended his career as Chief of Staff to the Supreme Allied Commander Atlantic (SACLANT).  Ellis first distinguished himself as a naval aviator during World War II, during which time he earned commendations for service in the North African Campaign and, later, valor awards for his leadership as Commander Air Group 18 aboard USS "Intrepid". [PAR] [TLE] USS Intrepid (CV-11) [SEP] USS "Intrepid" (CV/CVA/CVS-11), also known as The Fighting "I", is one of 24 "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s built during World War II for the United States Navy.  She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name.  Commissioned in August 1943, "Intrepid" participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, most notably the Battle of Leyte Gulf.  Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS).  In her second career, she served mainly in the Atlantic, but also participated in the Vietnam War.  Her notable achievements include being the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission.  Because of her prominent role in battle, she was nicknamed "the Fighting I", while her frequent bad luck and time spent in dry dock for repairs—she was torpedoed once and hit by four separate Japanese kamikaze aircraft—earned her the nicknames "Decrepit" and "the Dry I".  Decommissioned in 1974, in 1982 "Intrepid" became the foundation of the "Intrepid" Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
