USS Moose (1863)
USS ''Moose'' (1863) 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 to prevent the South from trading with other countries.
''Moose'', a wooden sternwheel steam gunboat built at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1863 as ''Florence Miller II'', was purchased at Cincinnati 20 May 1863, and commissioned immediately, Comdr. LeRoy Fitch in command.
== Assigned as a gunboat to the Mississippi Squadron ==
Assigned to the Mississippi Squadron, the new gunboat departed Cincinnati 2 July 1863 to patrol the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky, upstream. Morgan’s Raiders had captured Union ships ''John T. McComb'' and ''Alice Dean'' 7 July; ''Moose'' and responded to the Confederate threat, arriving Brandenburg, Kentucky, 9 July.
''Moose'' caught up with a guerrilla band at Twelve Mile Island 11 July; of the 1,500 Confederate troops trying to reinforce Morgan’s party, 45 crossed the Ohio River, 39 were held on the island and taken prisoner, some were drowned, and the rest driven back.
