==History==
The revenue cutter ''Virginia'' was a schooner built in 1797 for the United States Revenue Cutter Service at Portsmouth, Virginia. At the outset of the Quasi-War in 1798, the only ships available to the Navy were the 10 ships of the Revenue Cutter Service, the largest of which was the newly built ''Virginia''. She was transferred to the United States Navy and commissioned on 25 June, Capt. Francis Bright in command.〔
In August 1798, ''Virginia'' received orders to join the frigate off the eastern seaboard of the United States for operations against suspected French warships and merchant ships. She remained on this station until December, when she was assigned identical duty in the West Indies between St. Kitts and Puerto Rico as part of the squadron commanded by Commodore Thomas Truxtun. In addition to cruising with the Navy squadrons, ''Virginia'' guarded convoys and relayed messages between fleets. While on duty in the Caribbean, ''Virginia'', assisted by and , captured the armed French schooner ''Louis'' and her cargo on 26 April 1799.
Despite this success, in June 1799, ''Virginia'' was declared unfit for further naval service and returned to the Revenue Cutter Service. She was refitted and commissioned in the Revenue Cutter service in 1802. She was sold in 1807.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.uscg.mil/history/webcutters/VirginiaII.asp )〕
