Other USS Fultons in U.S. Navy
From Wikipedia.
Besides the USS Demologos, there were other ships by the name of Fulton in the U.S. Navy.
USS FULTON (1837)-- Sidewheel steamer launched in 1837, captured by Confederates in 1861 and destroyed when they evacuated Pensacola, Florida, in 1862. I'll be writing about this ship in my Running the Blockade blog later today.
USS FULTON (AS-1)-- A submarine tender launched in 1914, reclassified as a gunboat (PG-49) in 1930, and decommissioned in 1934.
USS FULTON (SP-247), a tugboat, converted into a patrol vessel in commission 1917-1919.
USS FULTON (AS-11) A Fulton-class submarine tender, launched in 1940 and struck in 1991.
