First Columbia status issue
[edit]- As the ship was privately owned, it is not designated USS.
Um, was the US Navy even established in 1792? or rather, since that seems obviously the case (? - I'm not American and get fuzzy on the post-revolutionary period - although I just looked at United States Navy and it seems the Continental Navy was disbanded in 1792, and Congress did not use its navy-making powers until the comissioning of six frigates in 1794; ergo was the USS designation system even invented yet?? If not, then this sentence needs rewording somehow....Skookum1 04:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
