HMS Intrepid (D10)

HMS Intrepid (D10) was an I-class destroyer laid down by J. Samuel White and Company, Limited, at Cowes on the Isle of Wight on 13 January 1936, launched on 17 December 1936 and commissioned on 29 July 1937.

In World War II, Intrepid attacked and sank the German submarine U-45 south-west of Ireland on 14 October 1939 in company with the destroyers Ivanhoe and Inglefield. She participated in the pursuit and destruction of the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, and in Operation Pedestal, the escorting of a convoy to Malta in August 1942.

Intrepid was attacked by German Ju 88 aircraft and sank off Leros Island in the Aegean Sea on 27 September 1943.
