Uss ColumbiaSeven United States Navy ships have been named USS ''Columbia'', after the personification of the United States, also after the city of Columbia, South Carolina. - A 44-gun frigate Columbia was under construction at the Washington Navy Yard, but was burned in 1814 to prevent capture by the British.
- The third Columbia was an ironclad, also captured from the Confederates in 1865 and in use until June of that year(?).
In 1792, Captain Robert Gray, in a privately-owned vessel named Columbia sent to the Pacific Northwest to trade for fur, discovered the Columbia River and named it after the ship; it later became the first American ship to circumnavigate the globe. The Space Shuttle Columbia (OV-102), which flew 28 missions between 1981 and 2003, is occasionally referred to as USS Columbia; this is incorrect, however, as she was not a vessel of the United States Navy.
