USS Underwriter (1852) was a 341-ton steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
Underwriter was outfitted as a gunboat, whose primary task was to prevent ships from penetrating the Union blockade of Southern ports.
Transferred to the North Atlantic Blockade
Underwriter, USS General Putnam (1857), and USS Ceres (1856) left Hatteras Inlet on 14 November and proceeded southwest to Ocracoke Inlet. There, they scuttled three stone-filled hulks, effectively closing the inlet to Confederate shipping.
The three vessels also participated in the capture of Confederate works on Roanoke Island, North Carolina, on 7 and 8 February 1862, and saw action during the capture of Elizabeth City, North Carolina, on 10 February.
On 13 February, Underwriter, USS John L. Lockwood (1854), USS Shawsheen (1855), and USS Whitehead (1861) proceeded up the North River, North Carolina, and placed obstructions at the mouth of the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal.
Underwriter also assisted in the capture of New Bern, North Carolina, on 13 and 14 March, knocking out a Confederate battery along the Neuse River during the attack. After additional support duties in both Albemarle and Albemarle Sounds, the vessel returned to Baltimore, Maryland, on 1 June for repairs.
