With the threat posed by the CSS Albemarle against the North Carolina town of Plymouth in 1864, the Union sent an 8-inch and a 6.4-inch Parrott rifles to that spot.
When the Confederates captured the town, they immediately took those guns away.
The 6.4-inch was shipped to Fort Fisher and the Confederate Navy received the 8-inch.
