USRC Hudson (1893)
USRC ''Hudson'', known for her service during the Battle of Cárdenas, was the United States Revenue Cutter Service's first vessel to have a steel hull and triple-expansion steam engine.
==Construction==
''Hudson'' was built in the Camden, New Jersey shipyards of John H. Dialogue and Sons and was one of the first Revenue Cutter Service vessels to be completely designed by the service's recently established office of Superintendent of Construction.〔 All of the blueprints and specifications for ''Hudson'' were turned over to the shipyard contractor and they were expected to build the vessel according to plan. Prior to establishment of the Superintendent's office by Commandant Leonard G. Shepard, the general layout of the vessel was left to the contractor.〔Evans, pp 155–156〕 ''Hudson'' was the first revenue cutter designed with an all steel hull and triple expansion steam engines. Precise metallurgical specifications were used to construct the boiler plates, allowing a 160-pound boiler pressure that allowed the vessel the power to operate very successfully as a tug.〔Evans, p 156〕 Shepard's successor, Charles F. Shoemaker, noted in his Revenue Cutter Service annual report of 1897 that this was "the first and only effort at modern cutter construction up to 1895."〔〔King, p 79〕 When commissioned on 15 September 1893, ''Hudson'' was named for the Hudson River which empties into New York harbor.〔
