Description
The H.M.S. Intrepid was one of three British ships (along with the H.M.S. Iphigenia and the H.M.S. Thetis) scuttled as blockships to limit German access to the Belgian port of Bruges-Zeebrugge during the raid of April 1918 by blocking the Bruges Canal. Although the H.M.S. Intrepid was successfully sunk by the British Navy, the canal only remained blocked for a few days.
