USS Fox (1859)
USS Fox was a captured Confederate schooner acquired by the Union Navy from the prize court during the American Civil War.
The Union Navy placed her into service as a ship's tender, whose task was to serve the fleet blockading the Confederate States of America. However, she was outfitted with a powerful rifled gun, which helped her in the role of gunboat and the capture of a prize on her own.
