From the Civil War Navy Sesquicentennial blog. http://civilwarnavy150.blogspot.com.
On the eve of the war, the US fleet was surprisingly spread out all over the world.
BRAZIL SQUADRON: Congress, Seminole, Pulaski
AFRICA SQUADRON: Constellation, Saratoga, Portsmouth, Mohican, Mystic, Sumter, San Jacinto, Relief
MEDITERRANEAN SQUADRON: Richmond, Susquehanna, Iroquois
EAST INDIES SQUADRON: John Adams, Hartford, Saginaw, Dacotah, Vandalia
SPECIAL SERVICE (JAPAN): Niagara
HOME SQUADRON
WEST INDIES: Crusader, Wyandotte
HAMPTON ROADS: Brooklyn
NEW YORK: Supply
PENSACOLA: Sabine, St. Louis
MEXICO: Cumberland, Macedonian, Pochahontas, Powhatan
I would presume these were ships on active duty and not ones laid up.
