USS Mondamin was a proposed United States Navy screw sloop-of-war or steam frigate proposed in the 1860s that was cancelled.

Mondamin was a wooden-hulled bark-rigged[1] (or ship-rigged[2]) Contoocook-class screw sloop-of-war[1] or steam frigate[2] with a single funnel slated to be built for the Union Navy late in the American Civil War. The contract for her construction was cancelled.

Notes
  1. 1 2 3 4 The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships has no entry for Mondamin, but refers to all members of her class as sloops.
  2. 1 2 3 4 Per Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860–1905, p. 125, whether she would have considered a sloop or frigate depended on whether or not she would have been built with a spar deck, without which she have been a sloop, but it is unknown whether she would have had a spar deck or not because she was never built and because her completed sisters differed in this regard.
