Anxiety said:There was an Intrepid in End Run, I am not sure what year that was nor when ST used Intrepid in the first place.

INTREPID,64. (1770 Woolwich. HS 1810) 1793 Capt. Charles Carpenter. Near old Cape Francois on 21 April 1796 she captured the French national ship PERCANTE,26, with a complement of 200 men. The prize was taken into the Royal Navy as JAMAICA. 1797 Capt. R. PARKER, 4/97.
1798 Capt. W. HARGOOD, 3/98 to the East Indies on 29 April 1799. 1803 INTREPID returned from the East Indies to Portsmouth in February 1803 and sailed from there on the 21st to be paid off at Chatham. She remained under repair their for some time. 1805 Capt. Hon. P. WODEHOUSE, Nore. 1807 ditto, Mediterranean. At the end of the year Capt. R. WORSLEY, St. Helen's.
1808 Capt. Christopher NESHAM, Leeward Is. In February 1809 she took part in the reduction of Martinique when about 400 seamen and marines from INTREPID and YORK were employed in getting the heavy cannon, mortars and howitzers up to Mount Sourier from the eastern side of Fort Edward. A task of the utmost difficulty, owing to the rains and the steepness of the roads. Nevertheless a battery of four 24-pounders and four mortars was soon mounted and ready for service. The following day more guns were got up and, within five days of the batteries opening, the enemy was driven from his defences and the whole interior of the work ploughed up by shot and shell.
1811 Receiving ship at Plymouth.
Spien said:One more point on the Interpid in Star Trek (not that it really matters it's not like either series stole it off of each other, it's just a perfect and overused ship name) you've all seem to forgotten that there was a USS Intrepid mentioned in the original series of Star Trek.
Haesslich said:The Vulcan-crewed starship of the U.S.S. Intrepid was first seen in the TOS episode "The Immunity Syndrome", first aired on January 19, 1968. However, as noted earlier, the Intrepid name has been seen in United States naval history centuries before Star Trek showed up to steal the traditional name from the then-active Essex-class carrier.
Chris Blair said:Intrepid was also the class the USS Voyager was in Star Trek: Voyager, and the Intrepid herself wasn't seen or mentioned.
Moonsword said:I don't know about liking those ship names, Shipgate, but they are definitely different from what's being discussed here.
*shrugs*
Viva la difference!
Moonsword said:There's a USS Intrepid specifically mentioned in TNG, but it's the ship Worf's adoptive father was serving on when it rescued him from Khitomer, and is supposed to be an Excelsior-class vessel.
Intrepid was also the class the USS Voyager was in Star Trek: Voyager, and the Intrepid herself wasn't seen or mentioned.
There was also a Constitution class Intrepid in the original series that was destroyed with all hands aboard in the episode "The Immunity Syndrome". It seems that this is just another one of the names that gets recycled again and again.
