The USS Constitution, "Old Ironsides", completed in the 1790s, is still a commissioned warship of the US Navy.
Techically, that would be the U.S. Navy's first submarine, USS S-1 (SS-105) , built by John Phillip Holland. Though the first submarine that was used in combat, David Bushnell's Turtle (Revolutionary War), the U.S. wasn't in fact a country at that time.The Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley was also not technically an American submarine, effectively being used by the Confederate Army (manned by Confederate sailors), but it was never a commissioned vessel in any navy.

On April 19, 1861, the U.S. government ordered the supply ship Star of the West to deliver provisions to Fort Sumter, which was under Confederate control in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. The mission was thwarted when Confederate forces fired upon the vessel, forcing it to retreat.
