High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Water Witch (1845) was a steamer designed and constructed by the U.S. Navy as an experimental improved version of its current steam-powered ships which were not considered as efficient as they should be.

Consequently, she was fitted as a harbor vessel and tug. Данное издание не является...
