USS Scourge

USS Scourge

Three ships of the United States Navy have borne the name USS "Scourge":

* USS "Scourge" (1804) - the first American ship to bear the name was a former British privateer, "Transfer", which was captured in 1804. Renamed "Scourge", she joined Commodore Edward Preble's squadron and participated the attacks on Tripoli. In 1812, she was declared unfit for service and sold at auction in Norfolk, Va.
* USS "Scourge" (1812) - the second ship to bear this name was the British ship, "Lord Nelson", captured on Lake Ontario in 1812. She was renamed "Scourge" and put into Commodore Isaac Chauncey's squadron on the upper Great Lakes. During the engagement on 8 August 1813, a sudden squall caused "Scourge" to capsize and sink.
* USS "Scourge" (1846) - the third ship to bear this name was a steamer, purchased in 1846 for service in the Mexican-American War and sold in 1848.
