Summary
[edit]DescriptionCS Navy twin-screw steam Gunboat "CSS Chattahoochee".jpg |
English: CSS Chattahoochee was a twin-screw steam gunboat built at Saffold, Georgia. She entered service in February 1863 for the Confederate States and was named after the river upon which she was built. She was 150 ft long, with a beam of 25Sh drew 8 ft of water, and cold make 12 knots. Her armament consisted of four 32-pounder smoothbore cannon mounted two on each broadside, one 32-pounder rifled cannon on pivot at he bow, and one 9-inch smoothbore cannon on pivot at midships. Her complement was 120 officers and crew. Chattahoochee was plagued by machinery failures; a boiler explosion killed 18 of her complement on May 27, 1863 as she prepared to sail from her anchorage at Blountstown, Florida, to attempt retaking the Confederate schooner CSS Fashion, captured by the Union. On June 10, 1864 she was floated and moved to Columbus, Georgia, for repairs and installation of engines and a new boiler. While she was undergoing repairs at Columbus, 11 of her officers and 50 crewmen tried unsuccessfully to capture USS Adela blockading Apalachicola, Florida. USS Somerset drove off the raiders, capturing much of their equipment. When the Confederates abandoned the Apalachicola River in December 1864, the Chattahoochee was moved up the Chattahoochee River, and then scuttled near Columbus as Union troops approached the city.
