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 and the first Burke Class Destroyer not named after a person.

Design and Construction

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]
