Design and construction

Main article: Arleigh Burke-class destroyer § Flight III

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 Intrepid.^[4]
