U.S.S. Franklin was a screw frigate completed for the United States Navy in 1867 and later became a receiving ship.

Construction

Franklin began life as a replacement for an old ship of the line of the same name, and remained officially known as a "repair" and conversion of that ship, despite being entirely new. In August 1853 a technical committee recommending building a new frigate instead of simply razeeing the old Franklin and including engines to provide "auxiliary steam power".[9] Her armament was from the beginning meant to be entirely shell-firing pieces. The new frigate was ordered on 1 September, 1853.[10]

Franklin was laid down at Portsmouth Navy Yard during May 1854, Construction proceeded in fits and starts over the next decade owing to her status as a "repair"—funding for her construction came from repair appropriations. Her machinery her was not contracted for until 16 November, 1863, when the contract was awarded to the Atlantic Iron Works of Boston, Massachusetts.[11]

Served as a training and receiving ship from 1877.[12]
