USS Eagle

USS Eagle

Five vessels of the United States Navy have been named USS "Eagle", after the eagle.

* The first USS|Eagle|1798 was a 14-gun schooner in service from 1798 to 1801.
* The second USS|Eagle|1812 was an 11-gun sloop in service on Lake Champlain during the War of 1812, captured by the British and then later recovered.
* The third USS|Eagle|1814 was a 12-gun brig also on Lake Champlain, launched and named while the second "Eagle" was in British hands.
* The fourth USS|Eagle|1898 was a yacht purchased in 1898 and in service until 1919.
* The fifth USS|Eagle|AM-132 was a Q-ship renamed "Captor" (PYc-40) shortly after commissioning in 1942.

The USS Eagle 56 (PE-56) was another United States ship to bear this name, made famous for the reversal of a Navy JAG investigation which had first determined its destruction in World War II due to a boiler explosion which was, 57 years later, amended to "destruction by enemy action" from a U-boat.
