USS Boxer (1832)
USS ''Boxer'' of the United States Navy was a 10-gun schooner, launched on 22 November 1831 by the Boston Navy Yard, and commissioned sometime in 1832, with Lt. Benjamin Payne in command; this was the second U.S. Navy ship to be named for the original HMS ''Boxer'', which had been captured from the British during the War of 1812.
==Service history==
Her first mission was to the American Colonization Society (ACS) colony of Liberia, with orders to join the ''Peacock'' off the coast of Brazil and both to proceed to the Pacific in support of the frigate ''Potomac'' on the first Sumatran Expedition to suppress piracy in the East Indies; the ships fail to rendezvous until 5 June 1834, "in the unhealthy roadstead of Batavia." ''Boxer'' then returned to join the West Indies Squadron. In 1835, she began a two-year tour of duty on the Pacific Station. After a period laid up undergoing repairs ''Boxer'' resumed duty on the Pacific Station from 1838 to 1840. Following two years apparently spent laid up, the schooner went to sea with the Home Squadron between 1842 and 1844. In 1846, ''Boxer'' was posted to the Africa Squadron, the primary mission of which was the suppression of the slave trade. That assignment lasted until the summer of 1848 when she returned to the United States.
''Boxer'' was sold at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 7 August 1848.
