USS New Berne was a wooden-hulled, propeller-driven steamer acquired by the Union Navy during the American Civil War.
She served the Navy primarily as a supply ship but, as a Union ship of the blockade of the waterways of the Confederate States of American, she was also responsible to take on the role of a gunboat when the opportunity presented itself.
