The designs of the Intrepid Aircraft Carrier was created in the early 90s' near the turn of the millennium. The Intrepid was originally designed to project the naval, and technological power of the Central American Empire (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=523486) at home and abroad, being the first CAE nuclear powered vessel. The lead ship, the HMS Intrepid was laid down in 2001 at the Santa Rosa Shipyards and was 60% complete before the project was cancelled in 2004. The Intrepid was ordered to be scrapped, although it was never scrapped.

With the threat of war between the North American Republic and the Central American Empire looming, the Government had ordered the resumption of the Intrepid Class, and the construction of one more near the end of year 2007.

As of the 2008, there is one Intrepid vessel and one more under construction.
