Tuhia he haere tonu mō tēnei whitianga - I te tau 1864-65 i whakahau ia i te kaipuke kaipuke o te North Atlantic Blockading Squadron. I toia e "Sassacus" te poti paura mai i Norfolk ki Fort Fisher i te marama o Tihema, a i uru ia i te Pakanga Tuatahi me te Tuarua
o Fort Fisher i te Hakihea 1864 me te Hanuere 1865. I uru hoki a Davis ki nga whakaeke ki Fort Anderson i te awa o Cape Fear i te 18 o Hui-tanguru; me Fort Strong i te 20 me te 21 o Hui-tanguru. I patua tana kaipuke i raro i te raina wai, engari i whakahaerehia te turuturu tae noa ki te pouri, katahi ka mutu.
