Ths USS Somers, second of six US Navy ship to bear the name, was commissioned in 1842. In addition to its regular duties, it was an experimental schoolship for the training of naval apprentices. On her first voyage, three of the crew were accused of inciting mutiny. They were accused of planning to drown the crew and use the Somers for piracy, and of course all three mutineers were promptly hanged.
