'''1821 - USS Brandywine, ex-USS Susquehanna''' 44-gun frigate laid down Washington Navy Yard as "Susquehanna", before completion name changed to "Brandywine" at direction of President John Quincy Adams. Change was to honor Marquis de Lafayette, wounded in the Revolutionary War battle fought along Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Creek. President Adams assigned Brandywine the high honor of taking Lafayette home to France. Commissioned in August 1825, Brandywine embarked her distinguished passenger in September and made Le Havre, France October 5th, 1825. Brandywine served the nation with distinction in the Med, Pacific, Chinese and Brazilian waters. By 1861, virtually obsolete, she was converted to a covered store ship to support the fleet in Civil War operations. As a side-light, during transit to France, Brandywine was commanded by Captain (later Commodore) Charles Morris, a distinguished naval officer. Lafayette’s escort officer was 24 year-old LT David Glasgow Farragut, who would lead the U.S. Navy Civil War operations against New Orleans and Mobile Bay. Also aboard was then Midshipman Matthew Fontaine Maury, future great oceanographer.
