  USS Tecumseh (1863) - Biocrawler
Tecumseh was launched on 12 September 1863 at Jersey City, New Jersey, by Secor and Company, of New York City; and was commissioned at the New York Navy Yard on 19 April 1864, Commander Tunis A. Craven in command.
Tecumseh participated in this effort from 15 to 18 June by sinking four hulks; stretching a heavy boom across the channel supporting a chain cable; extending a heavy boom across the flats; and sinking a schooner along the right hand bank of the river from which a short boom was extended to the flats.
Tecumseh lay at anchor at Pensacola, Florida on 3 August as a flurry of messages arrived from the Gulf Squadron: one from the Fleet Captain and the other from Farragut himself.

The fourth Tecumseh, (SSBN-628), was a James Madison-class ballistic missile submarine, commissioned in 1964 and struck in 1993.
Tecumseh's name (which has been translated in a number of ways, including "I Cross the Way" or "A Panther Crouching for His Prey") was a reference to his family clan (or phratry), and not to a passing comet as later traditions claimed.
Tecumseh then traveled to the south, on a mission to recruit allies among the so-called "Five Civilized Tribes." Most of the southern nations rejected his appeals, but a faction among the Creeks, who came to be known as the Red Sticks, answered his call to arms, leading to the Creek War.
