USS Warren (1776)
USS ''Warren'' was one of the 13 frigates authorized by the Continental Congress on 13 December 1775. With half her main armament being 18-pounders, ''Warren'' was more heavily armed than a typical 32-gun frigate of the period. She was named for Joseph Warren on 6 June 1776. ''Warren'' was burned to prevent capture in the ill-fated Penobscot Expedition in 1779.
==British blockade==
Built at Providence, Rhode Island by Sylvester Bowers, ''Warren'' was probably one of the first two of the 13 frigates to be completed. The other was the Rhode Island-built frigate . However, difficulties in manning the two ships and the British occupation of Newport, Rhode Island made the tricky task of getting the vessels out to sea doubly difficult.
Although the ship was bottled up in the Providence River, Commodore Esek Hopkins broke his pennant in ''Warren'' early in December of 1776. Hopkins was ordered to prepare for sea as soon as possible to cruise the upper half of the eastern seaboard to interdict British troop and logistics shipping traveling the Rhode Island to Virginia route. Hopkins' flagship nevertheless remained anchored in the Providence River for nearly a year afterward. As a result, Hopkins was suspended by the Marine Committee of the Continental Congress for his lethargic performance. ''Warren'', blockaded in Narragansett Bay, did no cruising.
