United States Exploring Expedition
![USS ''Vincennes''](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Vincennes_%28color%29.jpg)
The expedition is sometimes called the U.S. Ex. Ex. for short, or the Wilkes Expedition in honor of its next appointed commanding officer, United States Navy Lieutenant Charles Wilkes. The expedition was of major importance to the growth of science in the United States, in particular the then-young field of oceanography. During the event, armed conflict between Pacific islanders and the expedition was common and dozens of natives were killed in action, as well as a few Americans. Provided by Wikipedia
