USS Интрепид CV/CVA/CVS-11), известен още като The Fighting "I", е един от 24-те самолетоносача от клас "Есекс", построени по време на Втората световна война за ВМС на САЩ. Той е четвъртият кораб на ВМС на САЩ, който носи това име. Поръчан през август 1943 г., "Интрепид" участва в няколко кампании в Тихоокеанския театър на операциите, най-вече битката в залива Лейте. Изведен от експлоатация малко след края на войната, той е модернизиран и изведен от експлоатация в началото на 50-те години като атакуващ самолетоносач (CVA), а след това в крайна сметка става противоподводен носител (CVS). Във втората си кариера служи главно в Атлантическия океан, но участва и във Виетнамската война.

General Characteristics and Role

The USS Intrepid (CV-11, later CVA-11 and CVS-11) is an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy’s famed Essex-class. Launched during World War II, the Intrepid saw heavy combat in the Pacific Theater, earning five battle stars. It was one of the most successful and longest-serving carriers of its class. Following World War II, it underwent modernization under the SCB-27C program, which converted it into an Attack Aircraft Carrier (CVA-11) suitable for operating early jet aircraft, and later into an Anti-Submarine Warfare Support Carrier (CVS-11). Today, the Intrepid is preserved as the centerpiece of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.
