The USS Confederacy served as a 36-gun sailing frigate in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War. It fell into the hands of the British Royal Navy in March 1781, and despite being named Confederate by the British, the ship was never put into active service. Within approximately six months, it arrived in England and was dismantled in 1782.
