USS Oregon

Three ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Oregon and one is planned, in honor of the Oregon Territory or the 33rd state.

• The first Oregon was a brig purchased in 1841 to support the U.S. Exploring Expedition and in commission until 1845.
• A never-launched monitor previously named Quinsigamond and Hercules was also called Oregon before she was broken up in the ways.
• The third Oregon (BB-3) was a battleship that saw action in the Spanish–American War and was in commission from 1896 to 1919.
• The fourth Oregon (SSN-793) will be a Virginia-class submarine.

Confederate States Navy

One ship of the Confederate States Navy also bore the name Oregon. See CSS Oregon.
