Tradition is an adage throughout the United States Navy and this is best reflected in the names the Navy gives to its fighting ships. One name which has been prominent in Naval history since 1776 is the capital city of Massachusetts-Boston. USS BOSTON's honored story began in the year of independence, 1776, when the first BOSTON, a tiny, armed gondola, was launched at Whitehall, New York. She served in the fledgling Revolutionary Navy against British Forces on Lake Champlain. The year 1776 also saw the second BOSTON enter the Naval service A 24 gun frigate she served as a privateer challenging the world s greatest naval power England-on the high seas Boldly cruising European waters during the Revolution she took four prizes--among them the British frigates HMS FOX and HMS POLE The third USS BOSTON lived up to the fine reputa tions set by her predecessors in fighting pirates of the Barbary Coast Built from finances raised by the clt izens of Boston in 1779 the 32 gun frigate was the first copperbottomed ship built in America During the undeclared war with France she encountered the French corvette LE BERCEAU on October 12 1800 and defeated her after a long hard engagement BOS TON fought against the British Navy again in the War of 1812 ln 1825 the fourth BOSTON entered the Navy Built in Boston Naval Shipyard she served as a sloop of war for 21 years in the Mediterranean Pacific East Indian and Brazilian Squadrons The fifth BOSTON, a protected or steel cruiser complete with masts and sails, was commissioned in 1887.

From 1898 to 1946 she continued to uphold the BOS- TON tradition by serving first as a training ship and later, under a different name, as a receiving ship.
