USS Niphon (1863)
USS ''Niphon'' was a steam operated vessel 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.
''Niphon'', a wooden and iron screw steamer launched at Boston, Massachusetts, in February 1863, delivered to the Navy at Boston on 22 April 1863; and commissioned at Boston Navy Yard on 24 April 1863, Acting Ensign Joseph B. Breck in command; and was formally purchased 9 May 1863.
== Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockade ==
Assigned to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, ''Niphon'' was first stationed off Fort Fisher, North Carolina, which protected Wilmington, North Carolina, from attack by sea. She captured the blockade runner ''Banshee'' at New Inlet, North Carolina on 29 July 1863. On 18 August she chased the steamer ''Hebe'', carrying drugs, clothing, coffee, and provisions for the Confederacy, and forced the blockade runner aground north of Fort Fisher where she was abandoned. The boats from ''Niphon'' were sent to destroy ''Hebe'', but were swamped in heavy seas and their crews captured. Then opened fire on ''Hebe'' and she was burned to the waterline.
