USS Beaufort (1799) was a galley constructed by the citizens of Beaufort, South Carolina, and presented to the United States Government to be used to protect the coast of South Carolina from possible attack by warships of France, which was undergoing political instability following the French Revolution. Beaufort carried a powerful 24-pounder gun, and, because it was a galley, it had the advantage, in potential battles with sailing ships, of being able to be rowed to various advantageous firing positions in becalmed seas. The first U.S. Navy ship to be so named,Beaufort, a galley constructed by the citizens of Beaufort, South Carolina, in 1799, was presented by them to the United States government and was placed in commission by the U.S. Navy around the beginning of the summer of that year, Capt. P. A. Cartwright in command.
