Project history: Authorized under the Act of 2.3.95. Originally barquentine-rigged with a clipper bow and long bowsprit, this class consisted of composite-built vessels, rated as sloops in British lists. The 102mm were mounted fore and aft on the upper deck with four amidships on the main deck.
Modernizations: None.
Naval service: Annapolis served as a training ship from 1920 onwards, as did Newport from 1907 to 1931. Vicksburg was renamed Alexander Hamilton by the Coast Guard.
