USS Hornet (1865)
The USS ''Hornet'' (1865) was the fifth United States Navy ship to bear the name Hornet. She was originally the CSS ''Lady Stirling'', a blockade runner built by James Ash at Cubitt Town, London in 1864 for the Confederate States Navy. She was badly damaged and captured by the United States Navy on 28 October 1864 off Wilmington, North Carolina.
==History==
Following condemnation by a prize court, ''Lady Sterling'' was bought by the U.S. Navy, repaired, armed, and commissioned as USS ''Lady Sterling'' and later renamed USS ''Hornet'' on 25 April 1865 In navy service she mainly operated in the Chesapeake Bay squadron. In October 1865, ''Hornet'' escorted the Confederate ironclad CSS ''Stonewall'' from Cuba to the United States.
''Hornet'' was decommissioned on 15 December 1865 and sold into private ownership in 1869. After the war ''Hornet'' was involved in several filibustering expeditions to Cuba under the names ''Hornet'' and ''Cuba'', including an unsuccessful mission in January 1871 to deliver weapons and ammunition to Cuban rebels during the Ten Years' War.〔Office of Naval Records, 1921 p.182〕〔New York Times, 26 January 1871 p.124〕
