USS Key West (1862)
USS ''Key West'' (1862) was a steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War. She was used by the Union Navy as a convoy and patrol vessel on Confederate waterways, only to be sunk, along with ''Elfin'' and ''Tawah'' by Confederate shore batteries.
''Key West'' was built in 1862 at California, Pennsylvania, as ''Key West No. 8''; purchased by the Navy from W. S. Evans et al. at Cairo, Illinois, 16 April 1863; and commissioned 26 May, Acting Master E. M. King in command.
== Assigned to operations on the Tennessee River ==
The wooden stern-wheel steamer departed Cairo that day for patrol duty in the Tennessee River, supporting Union Army efforts and protecting Federal positions in the Tennessee Valley from Confederate Cavalry raids. Frequently, as she patrolled the river and escorted transports and supply ships, her guns engaged hit-and-run batteries and bands of riflemen.
