'''USS ''Pampanga'' (PG-39)''' was a [[schooner]]-rigged iron [[gunboat]] in the [[United States Navy]] during the [[Philippine–American War]]. She retained her Spanish name.

''Pampanga'' was laid down for the [[Spanish Navy]] by the [[Manila Ship Company]], [[Cavite]], [[Philippines]], in March 1887; launched in February 1888; captured by the [[United States Army|US Army]] at [[Manila Bay]] in June 1898; commissioned in American service on 18 June 1899; and turned over to the US Navy at [[Cavite Navy Yard]] on 9 November 1899. ''Pampanga'' had two sister-ships which also served in the US Navy, [[USS Samar (PG-41)|USS ''Samar'' (PG-41)]] and {{USS|Paragua|1888|6}}.

==Service history==

===1899&ndash;1907===
Assigned to patrol duty in [[Lingayen Gulf]], [[Luzon]], ''Pampanga'' operated in support of the Army engaged in fighting the [[Philippine–American War]], carrying [[troops]] and supplies, providing shore bombardment to forces ashore, and [[blockade]]d rebel towns. Moving on to the [[Cebu Island|Cebu]] station in mid-1900, the [[gunboat]] continued cooperating with the Army there into 1901 and then switched to patrolling off [[Samar (island)|Samar]]. She returned to Cavite to decommission on 18 June 1902 and recommissioned on 30 January 1904, continuing duty on the Philippine Station, basing out of Cavite until 1906. The warship then cruised the waters off [[Zamboanga Peninsula|Zamboanga]] and [[Borneo]] until returning to Cavite to decommission on 30 April 1907.

===1908&ndash;1915===
''Pampanga'' was loaned to the [[United States Army|Army]] for use as a [[patrol boat]] and [[ferry]] about [[Corregidor Island]] in [[Manila Bay]] on 31 December 1908 and was returned to the Navy on 11 November 1910. She recommissioned on 12 April 1911 and then sailed to cruise the Southern Philippines. On 24 September, the gunboat arrived off [[Semut]], [[Basilan Island]], and landed a detachment under Ensign [[Charles Hovey (naval officer)|Charles E. Hovey]] to take supplies to [[Army Camp Tabla]] inland. En route, the small party was attacked by natives, killing Ensign Hovey and injuring three of his men. Retaliatory action by the Army troops punished the attackers. The warship remained on patrol in the southern Philippines until decommissioning at [[Olongapo]] on 31 May 1915.

===1916&ndash;1928===
Once again commissioned on 3 January 1916 at [[Hong Kong]], [[China]], ''Pampanga'' was attached to the [[Asiatic Fleet]] and began duty on the [[South China Patrol]] station, investigating Chinese political conditions and offering assistance to Americans in danger or need. In the course of her service, she cruised the [[Xi River|West River]] to [[Guangzhou|Canton]] and beyond protecting American interests, especially in the period of heavy unrest in the middle 1920s, and made frequent visits to Hong Kong, [[Swatow]], and the other ports of the area in the performance of her duty. In 1923 she was under the command of [[Earl Winfield Spencer Jr.]], a naval aviator who was at that time the husband of [[Wallis Simpson]], who in turn was later the lover and wife of [[Edward, Duke of Windsor]] and the cause of the [[Edward VIII abdication crisis]].

The warship remained on this station until decommissioned at Hong Kong on 6 November 1928, and on 21 November, was sunk by gunfire from {{USS|Asheville|PG-21|2}} and {{USS|Sacramento|PG-19|2}} off the China coast after being stripped of all usable gear.
