USS Thrasher has been the name of three ships of the United States Navy, for the thrasher, a thrush-like bird known as a singer and mimic.

The first Thrasher (SS-26), which served before World War I, was renamed G-4 before she was launched.
The second USS Thrasher was a civilian motorboat commissioned during World War I. Originally named Petrel, she was renamed Thrasher to avoid confusion with Petrel (PG-2). At some point she lost the name Thrasher as well, becoming only SP-546.
The third Thrasher (MSC-203) was a Redwing-class minesweeper that served during the early Cold War.

For the similarly named US Navy submarines, see USS Thresher.

This article includes a list of ships with the same or similar names. If an internal link for a specific ship led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended ship article, if one exists.
