USS Worcester

USS Worcester was a Contoocook-class frigate of the United States Navy. She was laid down as Manitou during the American Civil War to deter British intervention in 1864, although timber shortages and a rushed construction delayed progress. Renamed and launched in 1869, her design was criticized and green wood limited her service life. While intended as a sloop, modifications while under construction enlarged her armament and converted her into a frigate.
