USS Oregon

Three ships of the United States Navy (and one ship of the Confederate States Navy) have been named USS Oregon, in honor of the 33rd state.

The first Oregon was a brig purchased to support an exploratory expedition.

A never-launched monitor previously named Quinsigamond and Hercules was also called Oregon before she was broken up in the ways.

The second Oregon was a battleship that saw action in the Spanish-American War.
