EspañolUSS ADAMS
Three ships of the United States Navy have been named 'USS ''Adams''', the first two after the second President, and the third after Lieutenant Samuel Adams, a hero of the Battle of Midway.
★ The first ''Adams'' was a 28-gun frigate launched in 1799 and active in the War of 1812 until she had to be scuttled to prevent capture in 1814.
★ The second ''Adams'' was a wooden screw steamer commissioned in 1876, notable for service in Alaska, and not decommissioned until 1919.
★ The third ''Adams'' (DM-27) was a destroyer minelayer serving at the end of World War II.
★ Also, a newly constructed 200-ton brig named ''Adams'' was purchased during the summer of 1812 by General William Hull, but was captured by the British before she could be armed and commissioned as ''USS Detroit''.
