USS Iuka (1864)
USS ''Iuka'' (1864) was a steamer 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.
''Iuka'' was purchased as ''Commodore'' 8 March 1864 from George Griswold of New York City. She prepared for service at the New York Navy Yard and commissioned 23 May 1864, Acting Volunteer Lt. W. C. Rogers in command.
== Assigned to the East Gulf Blockade ==
Departing New York City 7 June, ''Iuka'' joined the East Gulf Blockading Squadron at Key West, Florida. For the remainder of the war she performed blockade duty cruising in the Gulf of Mexico. This service was briefly interrupted in October 1864 when ''Iuka'' escorted a prize steamer from Key West to Boston, Massachusetts, and then returned to the Gulf.
On 31 March 1865 she captured the English schooner ''Comus'' sailing from St. Marks, Florida, to Havana, Cuba, with a cargo of contraband cotton.
