  USS Lynx (1814) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though the War of 1812 ended by the time the schooner was completed, the ship was still placed in service in early 1815 and on 3 July sailed from Boston with the nine ship squadron of Commodore William Bainbridge, bound for the Mediterranean to deal with the acts of the Barbary pirates against American commerce.
The schooner remained in the Mediterranean, however, until late in the year as part of a show of force led by Commodore Bainbridge’s flagship USS Independence, the Navy's first ship of the line, to encourage the Barbary States to keep the peace treaties just concluded.
She was never seen nor heard from again, and despite the searchings of schooner USS Nonsuch, no trace of her or her 50 man crew was ever found.

Hull became the first United States naval hero of the War of 1812 when he met HMS Guerriere, a 38-gun frigate, while cruising in the heavy frigate USS Constitution, In a four-hour, bloody battle, Hull pounded his enemy to pieces before the ship struck her colors--earning him the thanks of Congress and a gold medal.
His new command, the USS Independence, was one of the few American ships-of-the-line built during the war and which never saw action.
