'''USS ''Chillicothe''''' was an ironclad [[river gunboat]] of the [[United States Navy]]. She was named for [[Chillicothe, Ohio|the capital]] of [[Ohio]] from 1803 to 1810.

''Chillicothe'' was laid down at [[Cincinnati, Ohio]]. She was [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 5 September 1862 at [[Jeffersonville, Indiana]], with Acting Lieutenant J. P. Sanford in command. Necessary alterations and repairs and lack of sufficient water to pass over the falls detained her in the [[Ohio River]] until early January 1863.

==Service history==
From 8 January 1863, when she sailed from [[Cairo, Illinois]], until the end of the [[American Civil War]], ''Chillicothe'' was constantly employed in the [[Mississippi River]] and its tributaries. She joined in the expeditions to the [[White River (Arkansas)|White River]] in [[Arkansas]] in January 1863 and contributed to the [[Battle of Fort Hindman|capture of Fort Hindman]], Arkansas. She then joined the [[Yazoo Pass Expedition]], from 20 February to 10 April. Coming under enemy's fire with {{USS|Baron DeKalb|1861|2}} in the Yazoo expedition, ''Chillicothe'' was heavily damaged and lost several men. She was sent to [[Mound City, Illinois]], for repairs and returned to duty on the Mississippi River on 6 September 1863.

On 24 February 1864 she entered the [[Red River of the South|Red River]] for the [[Red River Campaign|expedition]] of 7 March to 15 May in which her commanding officer, Lieutenant [[Joseph Pitty Couthouy|Joseph P. Couthouy]], was mortally wounded by rifle fire on 3 April. From 22 May 1864 until 26 May 1865 she lay off [[Fort Adams, Mississippi]], on 8 June 1864 assisting in the capture of a Confederate battery at [[Simmesport, Louisiana]].

''Chillicothe'' arrived at Cairo, Illinois, on 13 July 1865, and on 29 November 1865 was sold at auction at [[Mound City, Illinois]]. As a civilian-owned ship, she was destroyed by fire in September 1872.
