USS Intrepid (1798)
The first USS ''Intrepid'' was a captured ketch in the United States Navy during the First Barbary War.
''Intrepid'' was built in France in 1798 for Napoleon's Egyptian expedition. She was subsequently sold to Tripoli, whom she served as ''Mastico''. The bomb ketch was one of several Tripolitan vessels which captured the on 31 October 1803 after the American frigate had run fast aground on uncharted Kaliusa reef some five miles east of Tripoli.〔U.S.Navy, DANFS, Intrepid, page article〕
==Capture==
, a schooner with Lt. Stephen Decatur in command, captured ''Mastico'' on 23 December 1803 as it was sailing from Tripoli to Constantinople under Turkish colors and without passports. After a time-consuming search for a translator, the ketch's papers and the testimony of an English ship master who had been in Tripoli to witness her role in operations against ''Philadelphia'' convinced the commander of the American squadron, Commodore Edward Preble, that ''Mastico'' was a legitimate prize. He took her into the U.S. Navy and renamed her ''Intrepid''.
