She was commissioned to protect American interests in the South Atlantic Ocean, including the interception of ships involved in the African slave trade. Decatur served in both the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War. The sloop-of-war was named in honor of Commodore Stephen Decatur (1779-1820), one of the United States Navy's greatest heroes and leaders of the first two decades of the 19th Century. Decatur, a large ship of 566 tons, was built in 1838 and 1839 at New York Navy Yard. She was outfitted with heavy guns and manned by a crew of 150 officers and enlisted men.
