The USS Montezuma was a 20-gun ship in the United States Navy that served during the Quasi-War with France. Originally a merchant ship, it was purchased by the Navy in 1798 and converted for military use. The ship was armed with a mix of long guns and carronades, making it versatile in combat situations. During its service, the USS Montezuma participated in several successful engagements against French privateers and warships, capturing or driving off several enemy vessels. The ship was also involved in escorting American merchant vessels and protecting them from attacks by hostile forces. The USS Montezuma's career was relatively short, as it was sold out of service in 1800. Despite its brief time in active duty, the ship played a significant role in protecting American interests at sea during a tumultuous period in international relations.
