USS intrépido (CV/CVA/CVS-11), también conocido como The Fighting "I", es uno de los 24 portaaviones de la clase Essex construidos durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial para la Armada de los Estados Unidos. Es el cuarto buque de la Marina estadounidense en llevar el nombre. Comisionado en agosto de 1943, Intrepid participó en varias campañas en el Teatro de Operaciones del Pacífico, en particular la Batalla del Golfo de Leyte. Desmantelada poco después del final de la guerra, fue modernizada y recomisionada a principios de la década de 1950 como portadora de ataque (CVA), y finalmente se convirtió en una portadora antisubmarina (CVS). En su segunda carrera, sirvió principalmente en el Atlántico, pero también participó en la Guerra de Vietnam.

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.
