USS Effingham
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Two ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Effingham:
- The USS Effingham
- Frigate under construction for the Continental Navy, but burned before she ever saw service. Named for Thomas Howard, 3rd Earl of Effingham - an English nobleman who resigned his commission rather than fight an unjust war against the American colonists.
- Transport used during World War II, and named for Effingham County, Georgia and Effingham County, Illinois.
