The USS Kearsarge in Stockholm.

Description: 181023-N-HP188-0031 RICHMOND, Va. (October 23, 2018) Erik Farrell, an archaeological conservator from the Mariners’ Museum and Park located in Newport News, works with a device to collect measurement data from a Dahlgren smoothbore shell gun from Kearsarge I (Sloop-of-War) during a visit to the Collection Management Facility (CMF). The Curator Branch of Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) relocated artifacts stored in separate facilities in Washington, DC; Virginia and Tennessee to the CMF in 2014.

11 September 1861 – Launch of USS Kearsarge, a Mohican-class sloop-of-war

2 February 1894 - USS Kearsarge, a Mohican-class sloop-of-war, wrecked

I am reading a fiction book, "Cuba" by Stephen Coonts, where the Kearsarge is mentioned. It was a story set at the time Castro died.

Probably this one; Kearsarge (CV-33, later CVA-33 and CVS-33), 1946-1974

Thanks to Stuart!

Pity that is a bit long Randi, or you could have used it in not Scrabble.
