USS Washington (1776 row galley)
 USS Washington was a large row galley with a rowing crew of 60 that was placed into service under the control of the Continental Congress in 1776. During this age of sail row galleys were highly maneuverable compared to sailing ships whose movements were dependent on the wind. Washington's war record consisted of an attack on several British warships and after finding itself on the losing side of the battle the row galley rowed away out of danger.
