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. There is no further report of her efforts for the Continental Navy.

- 華盛頓號(USS Washington)是一艘美國獨立戰爭期間,隸屬於大陸議會的武裝雙桅槳帆船(美國海軍正式船隻分類稱為「row galley」,是同時具有帆船功能但也可在必要時以人力划槳作為推進的雙動力船隻),以當時大陸議會的主帥喬治·華盛頓命名。1775年秋季時在(Rhode Island General Assembly)的授權與撥款下開始建造,同時起造的還有它的姊妹艦(USS Spitfire)。 根據州議會的授權,兩艘槳帆船具有60名船員的搭載能力,可利用船兩側配置各15組的划槳手或船上的兩張作為推進力。船首處設置有一具18磅加儂砲,並於船身各處配置多具(Swivel gun)作為武裝。 1776年1月兩艘槳帆船完工下水後,由約翰·葛林(John Grimes)指揮,開始在納拉甘西特灣(Narragansett Bay)運作,負責保護殖民地的船隻、載運士兵,或作為搜糧隊在野外活動時的掩護。1776年7月,兩艘槳帆船被送至紐約市,加入喬治·華盛頓麾下的小型船隊,配置在哈德遜河口以保護當時屬於大陸議會勢力控制範圍的曼哈頓島。 1776年夏末,曼哈頓島失守遭英軍攻下,華盛頓號與噴火號在那之後的紀錄不明。 (zh)
