USS 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 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 and commissioned as USS Detroit.
