USS Washington was a Continental Navy frigate laid down in 1776 but never completed.

Washington was among thirteen frigates authorized to be constructed for the new Continental Navy by an Act of Congress of 13 December 1775, and among four to be built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

[4] In any event, plans had been drawn up and copies made of them by 2 February 1776,[5] too late for the ships to be completed by March 1776.

Randolph was planned to be somewhat more lightly built than the British frigates that inspired her design, with a broader frame spacing and a much more raked bow, but with less freeboard.

The portion of her hull remaining above water was burned 8 May 1778 by a British raiding party.,[7] while her bottom was salvaged and sold in Philadelphia.
