Rather ironically, Congress had difficulty raising funds and it proved a constant challenge to pay for the construction and manning of the ship.

USS Confederacy was a 36-gun sailing frigate of the Continental Navy in the American Revolutionary War. The British Royal Navy captured her in March 1781. The British named her Confederate but never commissioned her. She reached England in about half-a-year and was broken up in 1782.
