The third USS Warren was a sloop-of-war that served in the United States Navy from 1799 to 1801. She was named for Founding Father and American Revolutionary War hero Joseph Warren.

  1. ^ The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships (see [1]) claims a tonnage of 385 tons based on period estimates, while Chapelle., p. 157, says that tonnage estimates of the period are habitually inaccurate and often too large, and that the ship's tonnage was only slightly over 360 tons
