USS Winslow, a 142-ton torpedo boat, was built at Baltimore, Maryland, and commissioned in December 1897. During the Spanish-American War, she served off Cuba, and was damaged in action at Cardenas on 11 May 1898. Her post-war service included long periods in reserve, with occasional active duty along the U.S. Atlantic coast. In 1909, Winslow was a naval militia training ship. She decommissioned in July 1910 and was sold the following January.
