USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), znana tudi kot The Fighting "I", je ena od 24 letalonosilk razreda Essex, zgrajenih med drugo svetovno vojno za ameriško mornarico. Je četrta ladja ameriške mornarice, ki nosi to ime. Intrepid je bil naročen avgusta 1943 in je sodeloval v več kampanjah na pacifiškem gledališču, predvsem v bitki v zalivu Leyte. Kmalu po koncu vojne je bila razgrajena, v začetku 1950-ih je bila posodobljena in ponovno vključena v uporabo kot jurišna letalonosilka (CVA), nato pa je sčasoma postala protipodmorniška letalonosilka (CVS). V svoji drugi karieri je služila predvsem v Atlantiku, sodelovala pa je tudi v vietnamski vojni.

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.
