USS Columbia, Burned at Washington Navy Yard in 1814, the Second USS Columbia Burned at Norfolk To Prevent Capture By Confederates in 1861

Also burned at the Washington Navy Yard in August 1814, was the 44-gun frigate Columbia which was approaching completion.  It was never rebuilt.  But, in 1836, a new USS Columbia was launched at the Washington Navy Yard.

Though it's keel was laid in 1825, but as was often in the Navy during that time, many years would lapse between the beginning of a ship and its launch and commissioning.

It was 175 feet long and rated for 50 guns with a crew of 480.

The Columbia was scuttled and burned April 21, 1861, to prevent capture by the Confederates.  It was raised at the end of the war and sold in 1867.
