USS Intrepid, a 1150-ton steam torpedo ram built at the Boston Navy Yard, was commissioned at the end of July 1874. She spent the next few months conducting torpedo trials in the waters off New England and New York and was then decommissioned at the New York Navy Yard. Intrepid had occasional active service over the next several years and in 1882 began conversion to a light-draft gunboat for service in Chinese waters. This work continued slowly until 1889 and was then suspended. USS Intrepid was sold in May 1892.
