USS Hastings (1860)
USS ''Hastings'' (1860) was a steamer purchased by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a gunboat assigned to patrol Confederate waterways.
''Hastings'', a small wooden gunboat, was built as ''Emma Duncan'' in 1860 at Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and operated as a river transport out of Cincinnati, Ohio. She was purchased at Cairo, Illinois, in March 1863 from J. Bachelor. Fitted out and ready for service in April; her first commanding officer was Acting Master W. N. Griswold. Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter recommended that her name be changed to ''Hastings'' 7 April 1863.
== ''Hastings'' receives battle damage in Confederate waterways ==
One of the group of lightly built steamers which bore the brunt of the war on the Mississippi River tributaries, ''Hastings'' was initially assigned to the Tennessee River. While steaming upriver to report for duty, she received her baptism of fire when attacked by Confederate guerrillas near Green Bottom Bar 24 April. Captain Griswold rounded to and engaged the Confederates for a time, after which they withdrew. The light gunboat was hulled seven times and suffered three casualties in the action.
