War is just when it is necessary; arms are permissible when there is no hope except in arms. -- Machiavelli |
USS Neshaminy, a 3850-ton steam frigate, was built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Pennsylvania, as part of a Civil War program of large, very fast, steam cruisers. Launched in October 1865, she was moved to the New York Navy Yard for installation of her engines, but was never completed. In 1869, she was twice renamed: initially Arizona and finally Nevada. Under the latter name, she remained laid up incomplete at New York, and at Groton, Connecticut, until sold for scrapping in June 1874.
