USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), tuntud ka kui The Fighting "I", on üks 24-st Essex-klassi lennukikandjast, mis ehitati Teise maailmasõja ajal Ameerika Ühendriikide mereväe jaoks. Ta on neljas USA mereväe laev, mis seda nime kannab. 1943. aasta augustis tellitud Intrepid osales vaikse ookeani operatsioonide teatris mitmetes kampaaniates, eriti Leyte lahe lahingus. Varsti pärast sõja lõppu moderniseeriti ja võeti ta 1950. aastate alguses uuesti kasutusele rünnakukandjana (CVA) ning sai lõpuks antisubmariini kandjaks (CVS). Oma teisel karjääril teenis ta peamiselt Atlandi ookeanis, kuid osales ka Vietnami sõjas.

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.
