The ships were delivered to the United States Navy on 14 July 1846, and ''Spitfire'' was commissioned on 21 August 1846, Commander Josiah Tattnall in command. ==Service history== After carrying dispatches for United States forces in California to Chagres, Panama, ''Spitfire'' joined the American blockading force off Vera Cruz on 10 November; and, as she was a new and efficient vessel designed specifically for service on Mexico's Gulf Coast, she significantly strengthened Commodore David Conner's squadron.
