USS Aster (1864)
USS ''Aster'' (1864) was a steam operated tugboat acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Navy to patrol navigable waterways of the Confederacy to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
On 25 July 1864 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Union Navy purchased the wooden steamer ''Alice'' from Bishop, Son, and Company. Renamed ''Aster'', this screw tug was placed in commission on 12 August 1864, Acting Master Samuel Hall in command.
== Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockade in North Carolina ==
On 25 August 1864, Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles ordered ''Aster'' to proceed to waters off Wilmington, North Carolina, for duty in the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. Since the ship's logs do not seem to have survived, the details of her voyage south are unknown. She apparently joined the squadron in the first fortnight of September, but, on the 16th of that month, was at Norfolk, Virginia, undergoing repairs.
