USS Intrepid (DDG-145) is a planned Flight III Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer of the United States Navy, the 95th overall of the class. She will be the fifth US Navy ship named Intrepid.
Design and Construction
[edit]As a Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, she would be mounted with the more powerful AN/SPY-6 radar compared to her sister ships. This radar, and other modifications, would allow Flight III destroyers to serve as a replacement for the air-defense roles of Ticonderoga-class cruisers.[3]
She was ordered in 2023 as part of a larger 5-year plan to build 9 Flight III ships.[3] In 2025, she was named after the four previous US Navy ships to bear the name Interpid.[4]
