USS Savannah

USS Savannah was a Potomac-class frigate of the United States Navy. She was laid down in 1820 and intentionally left half-completed to preserve the hull in the event of an emergency. She was finally launched in 1842 and became the flagship of the Pacific Squadron in preparation for the Mexican-American War. During the war, she participated in several amphibious assaults in California. She led the squadron during the peaceful capture of Monterey and later tried to land marines to retake Los Angeles, although the operation failed. She then relieved a besieged American garrison at San Diego before sailing back to the United States.
