USS Ranger (1814)

USS Ranger was an armed schooner that served in the U.S. Navy from 1814 to 1816.

Ranger, probably a former privateer, was purchased in Baltimore, Maryland, in March 1814.

With the War of 1812 in its final years, she primarily served as a lookout and coastal guard vessel on the Chesapeake Bay.

She was sold off in 1816; her fate afterwards is unknown.
