USS Patterson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Patterson after Daniel Patterson.

There was possibly a USS Patterson before 1910. An 8 February 1898 Evening Star, Washington, DC, newspaper article stated that US Navy Lieutenant Commander Charles T. Forse took command of Patterson from Lieutenant Commander E. K. Moore, who had commanded Patterson for the previous three years. Patterson was detailed, along with Gedney, to survey the mouth of the Yukon River in the Territory of Alaska. On 14 December 1910 US (US Navy) steamer Patterson was in a collision with Arctic at the wharf of United Engineering Works, Alameda, California.[1]
