USS Pulaski (1854), a 358-Tonne/395-ton (burden) side-wheel steamship, was in service as part of the United States Navy. She was named for Kazimierz Pulaski. Originally named Metacomet when built for commercial owners in 1854, she served as USS Pulaski from 1858 to 1863, when it was sold by the Navy. Metacomet was built at New York City in 1854 for commercial owners. She was chartered by the Navy in 1858 for use in the Paraguay expedition and placed in commission as USS Pulaski. During the expedition, she was commanded by Lieutenant William H. Macomb. Subsequently purchased, she operated in South American waters from early 1859 until 22 January 1863, when she was decommissioned and sold by auction at Montevideo, Uruguay. From then until about 1870 she operated on the River Plate as a civilian vessel. While no other USN ships have been named Pulaski, USS Casimir Pulaski was launched in 1961. See USS Pulaski for additional USN ships containing the word Pulaski. Pulaski
