USS Sovereign

USS Sovereign

Two ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS "Sovereign".

* The first, USS "Sovereign" (1855), was a side wheel steamer built in 1855. She was acquired by the Confederacy in 1861, captured by the Union in 1862, and sold in 1865.

* The second, USS "Sovereign" (SP-170), was a steam yacht built in 1911 by Charles L. Seabury & Co., Morris Heights, N.Y. The ship was acquired by the Navy on 14 June 1918 from the estate of M.C.D. Borden. Commanded by Lt. C.F. Wure, she served the 3d Naval District as a patrol craft for 10 months. On 23 April 1919, her name was struck from the Navy list; and, soon thereafter, she was returned to her owner.

For the "Sovereign"-class starship in "Star Trek", see USS "Sovereign" (NCC-73811).
