intrepid (kancolle)
イントレピッド(艦隊これくしょん) イントレピッド(艦これ) Intrepid イントレピッド 无畏
Kantai Collection's personification of the US Navy carrier USS Intrepid (CV-11). Character design by Shibafu, voiced by Kubota Hikari.
She is portrayed with short brown hair tied into a ponytail, blue eyes, and large breasts. Her default outfit consists of a grey dress, black cropped jacket with an aviator's neck pillow, blue neckerchief with her real-life camouflage pattern (Measure 32-D3A), grey socks, and grey rudder footwear.
Her rigging consists of her real-life bridge, funnel, and radar masts to her back, and her flight deck to her left. Like other US carrier shipgirls, she brandishes a firearm to "launch" her aircraft, in this case an M1903 Springfield rifle with two 12.7 cm twin DP mounts on top.

Her introduction into the game on the morning (Japan time) of February 22, 2018 drew mixed reactions from Western fans with the negative side taking issue with her design which is not helped by her artist's already notorious art style. Her first appearance and the negative initial reactions coincided with the temporary suspension of the game's Twitter account that day, leading some Western fans to connect the perceived rage against Intrepid's design to the suspension (which was actually for unrelated reasons). In comparison, the Japanese fanbase was much more receptive for Intrepid's design with the initial negative reactions being lukewarm.
