USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), také známý jako The Fighting "I", je jednou z 24 letadlových lodí třídy Essex postavených během druhé světové války pro námořnictvo Spojených států. Je čtvrtou lodí amerického námořnictva, která nese toto jméno. Intrepid byl uveden do služby v srpnu 1943 a zúčastnil se několika kampaní v tichomořském operačním prostoru, zejména bitvy o záliv Leyte. Vyřazena z provozu krátce po skončení války, byla modernizována a znovu uvedena do provozu na počátku roku 1950 jako útočná letadlová loď (CVA) a nakonec se stala protiponorkovou letadlovou lodí (CVS). Ve své druhé kariéře sloužila hlavně v Atlantiku, ale také se zúčastnila války ve Vietnamu.

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.
