 Viper I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The first Viper -originally the cutter Ferret designed by naval architect Josiah Fox and built at the Norfolk Navy Yard, Norfolk, Va., between 1806 and 1809 -was commissioned under her old name on 18 April 1809, Lt. Christopher Gadsden, Jr., in command.
She was renamed Viper during rerigging as a brig at the Washington Navy Yard in 1809 and 1810, and from Washington sailed to New Orleans, La., arriving there on 15 March 1811.
During the war, Viper proved woefully inadequate in deep water operations against the larger, more heavily gunned British warships and was captured by the 32-gun frigate HMS Narcissus off the coast of Belize, British Honduras, on 17 January 1813 and taken to New Providence in the Bahama Islands.

 Report of the Tenth Meeting of the Neutron Users Club
VIPER (Versatile Intermediate Pulsed Energy Reactor) was commissioned in 1967.  Its main purpose is to provide a hostile neutron environment in order to examine the response of materials in weapons components and military equipment.
VIPER can also operate in steady state conditions up to a few hundred kW.  This allows neutron detector equipment to be tested at higher neutron intensities than normally encountered.
