Civil War Naval Warfare: Strategy, Ships, and Battles
Civil War Naval Warfare transformed the American Civil War into a conflict fought not only across battlefields, but also along rivers, coastlines, and vital inland waterways. Control of these routes shaped military campaigns, protected supply lines, and influenced the economic survival of both the Union and Confederacy.
Ironclad warships, river gunboats, blockades, submarines, and naval raids introduced technologies and strategies that altered maritime combat. Their operations demonstrated how command of the water could determine the outcome of campaigns far beyond the shoreline.
