USS Intrepid (CV/CVA/CVS-11), även känd som The Fighting "I", är ett av 24 hangarfartyg av Essex-klass som byggdes under andra världskriget för den amerikanska flottan. Hon är det fjärde fartyget i amerikanska flottan som bär namnet. Intrepid togs i tjänst i augusti 1943 och deltog i flera kampanjer i Pacific Theatre of Operations, framför allt slaget vid Leytebukten. Hon togs ur tjänst strax efter krigsslutet och moderniserades och togs i tjänst igen i början av 1950-talet som attackbärare (CVA) och blev så småningom ett ubåtsjakthangarfartyg (CVS). I sin andra karriär tjänstgjorde hon främst i Atlanten, men deltog också i Vietnamkriget.

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.
