USS Estrella (1862) was a 438-ton steamer acquired by the Union Navy from the Union Army during the second year of the American Civil War. Armed with heavy guns (one with rifled barrel) and with two howitzers for shore bombardment, Estrella was versatile and useful in both stopping blockade runners at sea and at bombarding shore positions.
