'''USS ''Dale'' (1839)''' (later '''''Oriole''''') was a [[sloop-of-war]] in the [[United States Navy]] [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 11 December 1839. ''Dale'' was involved in the [[Mexican-American War]], the [[American Civil War]], operations along Africa to suppress slave trade, and was used in the US Coast Guard, among other activities. ''Dale'' was placed [[reserve fleet|into ordinary]] (naval reserve) numerous times.
'''USS ''Preble''''' was a [[United States Navy]] [[sloop-of-war]] with 16 guns, built by the [[Portsmouth Navy Yard]], [[Kittery]], Maine, launched June&nbsp;13, 1839 and commissioned in 1840. She was named after Commodore [[Edward Preble]] (1761–1807).


==Construction & Commisioning==
==Construction and Commissioning==
''Preble'' was one of six war ships authorized to be constructed by The Congressional Act of 3 April 1837. The first of this group was [[USS Princeton (1843)|''Princeton'']], the Navy's first screw steamer. The other five became the 'Third Class Sloops' ''Preble, [[USS Yorktown (1839)|Yorktown]], [[USS Dale (1839)|Dale]], [[Marion (ship)|Marion]]'', and ''[[USS Decatur (1839)|Decatur]]'' and were built to the design of [[John Lenthall (shipbuilder)|John Lenthall]]. ''Preble'' was constructed at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, launched on 13 June 1839 and commissioned around 2 June 1840<ref name="Canney"/> CDR. Samuel L. Breese in command.<ref name="NavSource"/> ''Preble'' was the second ship named for Commodore Edward Preble who served the United State shipboard from the revolutionary War, rising to the rank of Commodore and return to Portsmouth Navy Yard where he engaged in shipbuilding activities.<ref name="DANFS"/>
''Dale'' was built under the supervision of [[Charles Stewart (1778–1869)|Charles Stewart]], [[Commandant]], [[Philadelphia Naval Yard]].<ref>name="Berube"</ref> She was launched on 8 November 1839, commissioned on 11 December 1839 with Commander [[John Gwinn]] in command and was taken to [[Norfolk Navy Yard]] to be readied for sea. ''Dale'' was named in memorial of [[Richard Dale]] (6 Nov 1756 – 26 Feb 1826) who was a [[prisoner of war]] three times during the [[American Revolutionary War]], an officer upon the founding of the [[United States Navy]] and Commodore of the [[Tripoli]] [[blockade]] during the [[First Barbary War]] in North Africa.


==Early Service==
==First & Second Cruise==
''Preble'' first sailed for [[Labrador]], and then went to cruise in the [[Mediterranean Sea]] in 1843. She was attached to the [[African Squadron]] in 1845. In 1846, ''Preble'' sailed for [[New York]] and joined the [[Pacific Squadron]] on the West Coast of the United States, where she participated in the [[Mexican–American War]]. In 1848, Captain [[James Glynn]] took her first to Hong Kong and then to Japan, where he became the first American to negotiate successfully with the "[[Sakoku|closed country]]." In November 1850, she returned to the east coast of the United States, where she became a practice ship for [[midshipmen]] until 1857, when she was placed in ordinary. <ref name="DANFS"/>
''Dale''{{'}}s first cruise, which she sailed from Norfolk on 13 December 1840, took her around [[Cape Horn]] to the [[Pacific Squadron|Pacific Station]]. Based at [[Valparaíso]], Chile, she patrolled the eastern waters of the Pacific Ocean to protect American commerce and the whaling industry. Upon her return to the east coast in October 1843, she went [[reserve fleet|into ordinary]] at New York City until early in 1846, when she was refitted for a second cruise in the Pacific. Sailing from New York on 6 June 1846, ''Dale'' arrived at Valparaiso on 8 September, and cruised the coast of South America'


==Paraguayan Punitive Expedition==
In late 1858, ''Preble'' sailed for [[Paraguay]] to take part in the [[Paraguay Expedition]] against that country for firing on {{USS|Water Witch|1851|6}}. She arrived at [[Asunción]] with 18 other vessels 25 January 1859, but the payment of an indemnity and an apology settled the affair peacefully.<ref name="DANFS"/>


==Mexican-American War==
==Civil War Service==
During the [[American Civil War]], in July 1861, ''Preble'' joined the [[Gulf Blockading Squadron]], and participated in the blockade of the [[Mississippi River]]. She shift east to [[Pensacola, Florida|Pensacola]] where she served as a guard ship.<ref name="DANFS"/>
[[File:USS Dale San Jose del Cabo Mexico.jpg|framed|left|USS ''Dale'' of coast of Jose del Cabo Mexico]]
With the outbreak of the [[Mexican-American War]] ''Dale'' was ordered north. The sloop arrived off [[Monterey, California]], in January 1847, and through the remaining year of the war, cruised the coasts of Mexico and California. Not only did she capture several Mexican privateers and merchantmen, but landing parties she sent ashore raised the U.S. flag over the towns of [[Guaymas]] and [[Battle of Mulege|Mulege]].<ref name="DANFS1"/> Thirty soldiers were landed at Mulege, but they were faced by artillery and significant opposition. Using the excuse of encroaching nightfall at a later date to justify their sudden departure, in truth the Battle of Mulege was a substantial victory for the Mexican forces, hence the current official appellation for the town, i.e., "Heroica Mulege". Following the ending of the war in February 1848, ''Dale'' continued to patrol until the summer of 1849, when she sailed for the east coast, arriving at New York on 22 August 1849. ''Dale'' was placed in ordinary at New York from August 1849 - August 1850.<ref name="DANFS1"/>


''Preble'' on 27 April 1863, moored in [[Pensacola Bay]], caught fire due to the carelessness of a crewman. The vessel was abandoned and exploded. In 1963, the wreck of the ''Preble'' was discovered by Navy divers, who retrieved a number of artifacts.
==African Anti Slavery==
''Dale'' made three extended cruises along the African coast to [[Atlantic Anti-Slavery Operations of the United States|suppress]] the slave trade, during which she [[Johanna Expedition#Expedition|bombarded]] the small [[Comoros Islands|Kingdom of Johanna]], in August 1851. ''Dale'' went out of commission in May 1859

''Dale'' was recommissioned on 30 June 1861 at [[Portsmouth Naval Shipyard]], Kittery, Maine, and sailed to join the [[South Atlantic Blockading Squadron]], capturing two [[schooner]]s on her passage to [[Port Royal, South Carolina]]. Here she served as store and guard ship until sailing north for repairs on 30 September 1862.

Chase'', served as a dormitory-
barracks ship for the cadets in the School of Instruction at Arundel Cove, Maryland.<ref name="USCG"/> Finally, on 17 September 1921, almost 82 since her launch, ''Oriole'' was returned to the US Navy and sold as a hulk to Mr. William Mattson of Baltimore.<ref name="DANFS2"/>
