She was designed by naval architect Joshua Humphreys and built at a shipyard in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was named by George Washington and launched on 10 May 1797 and commissioned July 11, 1798 with Captain John Barry in command. In 1861 the United States was in port at Norfolk and was seized and subsequently commissioned into the Confederate States Navy as CSS United States, but was later scuttled by Confederate forces. Union forces raised the scuttled ship, and retained control of the ship until it was broken up in 1865.
