USS Chattanooga (1864)

USS Chattanooga (1864)

USS "Chattanooga" (1864) was constructed during the final years of the American Civil War but was not launched because the war was winding down in the Union’s favor. She was eventually placed into wet storage until she was holed by ice in 1872.

Laid down during the Civil War

The first U.S. Navy ship to be so named, "Chattanooga", a screw steamer, was launched 13 October 1864 by William Cramp and Sons, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and completed by the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Commissioned on 16 May 1866 with Captain J. P. McKinstry in command. The "Chattanooga" was named after the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Decommissioned after sea trials

After final trials in August 1866, "Chattanooga" returned to the Philadelphia Navy Yard where she was decommissioned 3 September 1866. She remained inactive there and at League Island, where in December 1871 she was holed and sunk at her dock by floating ice.

Final disposition

The hulk was sold in January 1872.
