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.
