Ten ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Washington, originally in honor of George Washington, and later (starting with the 1905 armored cruiser) for the 42nd state.
- The first Washington was a schooner named Endeavor acquired by General George Washington in October 1775, renamed Washington, and re-rigged as a brigantine. She was captured in December. Taken to Boston, Washington, upon inspection by the Royal Navy, was deemed unsuitable for operations on the high seas; she eventually rotted away at Boston.
- The second Washington was a row galley that operated in Narragansett Bay during the winter and spring of 1776. In July, the galleys were sent to New York, but after the British captured Manhattan late in the summer, Washington and her sister galleys vanished in the mists of unrecorded history.
