  USS Grampus (1820) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grampus was built at the Washington Navy Yard under the supervision of naval constructor William Doughty on a design by Henry Eckford.
Grampus had a small part in the Amistad trials: in November and December 1839, the United States government had Grampus standing by in New Haven harbor, so that if the court ruled in favor of the slaves' Spanish "owners," they could deport the Africans to Cuba before they could file an appeal.
Grampus continued her duties in the protection of shipping in the Caribbean Sea and in the South Atlantic Ocean until August 1841, when she was detached from the African Squadron while lying at Boston Navy Yard and attached to the Home Squadron at Norfolk, Virginia on 23 January 1843.

Grampus started out as one of the weaker participants, but in 1995 and 1996, with Gary Lineker in the lineup and Arsene Wenger on the sidelines, Nagoya fell just short of a league title, and captured the Emperor's Cup at the close of the season.
