  • CSS Hampton was a wooden gunboat of the Confederate States Navy, one of the few Hampton class gunboats to be built. Hampton was built at Norfolk Navy Yard in 1862 and based there until May 1862, when the yard was abandoned and the fleet moved up the James River.

Hampton was burned by the Confederates as they evacuated Richmond, Virginia on April 3, 1865. The flag from the CSS Hampton was taken from the ship as it sank in the James River by Lt. William Ladd, a Union soldier. Recently rediscovered, the flag will be put on display at the Hampton Roads Naval Museum after conservation is completed.
