In combined operations with the Union army—particularly at Hatteras Inlet (Aug. 29, 1861) and Port Royal, S.C. (Nov. 7, 1861), and at Wilmington, N.C. (Jan. 13-15, 1865)--the Union navy seized strategic locations on the Confederate coast. These actions not only deprived the South of blockade-running havens but also provided the North with base facilities and coaling stations, which enabled the blockading steamships to keep the sea for extended periods.

On the western waters, shallow-draft Union gunboats carried out a series of decisive riverine operations that ultimately divided the South along the Mississippi River. After the capture of New Orleans (Apr. 25, 1862) by a fleet under Flag Officer [[David G. Farragut]], Union naval forces steaming up the Mississippi and forces fighting their way downstream converged on [[Battle of Vicksburg|Vicksburg, Mississippi]], the main Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River. After a prolonged siege by water and land, Vicksburg fell to Generaly [[Ulysses S. Grant]] on July 4, 1863. President Abraham Lincoln wrote: "The Father of Waters again goes unvexed to the Sea."
