USS Florida

At least six United States Navy ships have borne the name Florida, in honor of the 27th state.

  • The first Florida was a sloop that served on survey duty between 1824 and 1831. Her final cruise, between 1 June 1830 and 31 May 1831, was under the command of Lieutenant T. R. Gedney.
  • The third Florida was originally the screw frigate Wampanoag renamed in 1869, and sold in 1885.
