Two ships of the Navyhave been named for the Currituck Sound which is located between Virginia and North Carolina. The first U. S, S, Currituck was commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1862 during the Civil War. A screw-steamer, she was 120 feet long and mounted an armament of one 20-pounder and four 32-pounder guns. Enroute to her assigned duty with the Potomac Flotilla, Currituck was ordered to tow MONITOR from New York to Hampton Roads , Virginia as soon as possible to put a stop to the depredations of the Confederate MERRIMAC. Currituck arrived with her tow on 8 March and assumed her duties with the Potomac Flotilla. She spent her entire service in the Chesapeake Bay and tributary waters performing guard and picket duties. During the war she was credited with the capture of eight vessels and several assists. She was decommissioned and sold in the summer of 1865. Cmnt I 2 U.5.S.
