	USS Intrepid (1798) - meaning of word
		USS Enterprise (1799), Lt. Stephen Decatur in command, captured ''Mastico'' 23 December 1803 as she was sailing from Tripoli to Constantinople under Turkey colors and without passports.
		When Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, then blockading Toulon, heard of ''Intrepid''s feat, he is said to have called it "the most bold and daring act of the age." ''Intrepid'' returned to Syracuse, Italy 19 February, and the next day her crew returned to their original ships.
		The anxious fleet heard two signal guns as ''Intrepid'' entered the harbor; and at 9:30, sometime before she was expected to reach her destination, the American squadron was shaken by the concussion of a violent explosion.
