USS Bazely (1863)
USS ''Bazely'' (1863) (also designated ''Tug No. 2'' and ''Beta'') was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy in a tugboat/patrol boat role in support of the Union Navy blockade of Confederate waterways.
== Conversion of tugboat role to patrol craft role ==
''J. E. Bazely''—a screw tug built in 1863 at Gloucester, New Jersey—was one of six similar vessels purchased at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by the U.S. Navy on June 3, 1864 to support other Union warships in all the varied ways in which tugs assist larger ships. These vessels were also needed to help protect Northern men of war and Union Army transports against surprise attacks by Confederate rams, torpedo boats, or other novel craft which had been a cause of great concern since ''CSS Virginia’s'' first foray on March 8, 1862. The submersible H. L. Hunley’s sinking of the screw sloop of war ''Housatonic'' and the ironclad ram ''Albemarle’s'' destruction of the side wheel gunboat ''Southfield'' later underscored the dangers posed by such innovative Southern vessels.
