The Intrépide was a First Rank three-decker ship of the line of the French Royal Navy. She was intended to be armed with 68 guns as a Second Rank ship including a partially armed upper deck, but was modified during construction and completed as a First Rank with 82 guns, comprising twenty-eight 36-pounder guns on the lower deck, twenty-six 18-pounder guns on the middle deck, and twenty-four 8-pounder guns on the upper deck (two more were added from 1706), with four 4-pounder guns on the quarterdeck.
