New Orleans Squadron
Military unit / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New Orleans Squadron or the New Orleans Station was a United States Navy squadron raised out of the growing threat the United Kingdom posed to Louisiana during the War of 1812.[according to whom?] The first squadron consisted of over a dozen[clarification needed] vessels and was mostly defeated during the war. Afterward, new ships were stationed at New Orleans which engaged in counter-piracy operations for over twenty years. The New Orleans Squadron was eventually merged with the Home Squadron.
