USS T. D. Horner (1859)
The USS ''T. D. Horner'' was a stern-wheel steamer built in 1859 at Brownsville, Pennsylvania and was part of Colonel Charles Ellet, Jr.'s United States Ram Fleet during the American Civil War.
==Civil War service==
The ship was purchased by the War Department on 18 May 1862 for use on the Mississippi River and its tributaries in the Army's newly established flotilla which was popularly known as the "Ellet Ram Fleet."
Commanded and manned by Union Army personnel, this organization operated in the same waters as the Western Flotilla (later to become the Mississippi Squadron) which had been established the previous summer, also under Army auspices but commanded and manned by Navy personnel.
The relationship between these organizations, which often cooperated in carrying out their overlapping missions, was never completely clarified. However, at no time was the Ram Fleet, or were its ships, taken into the Navy. ''T. D. Horner'' served the Ram Fleet and its successor, the Mississippi Marine Brigade, as a tug until the latter was dissolved on 24 August 1864.
