The USS Providence was a single-masted sloop equipped with ten cannons and typically manned by about 80 crew members. Originally named the Katy, she was acquired by the United States Navy in 1775, becoming one of the first naval ships of the United States. The USS Providence served until 1779, when she was trapped and scuttled by her crew during the Battle of Penobscot Bay to avoid capture. During her brief service of less than four years, the USS Providence, operating alone or in small fleets, captured over twenty British naval or commercial vessels, achieving a distinguished record. Sloops like the USS Providence were widely used in American waters at the time for naval patrols or trades. They were popular due to their low cost, high maneuverability, and low crew requirements and so on. Additionally, these vessels were sometimes used for the notorious purpose of piracy in the Caribbean waters. It is rumored that the infamous pirate Blackbeard's last ship was a sloop similar to the USS Providence.
