CSS Oconee (Savannah)-- Part 2
The CSS Savannah (late CSS Oconee) was attached to Flag Officer Josiah Tattnall's fleet, whose ships were so small, it was dubbed the "Mosquito Fleet," one of two in Confederate service, the other being in the sounds of North Carolina around Roanoke Island.
The ships of this impromptu fleet, based out of Savannah, consisted of the Savannah and three converted tugs, the Resolute, Sampson and Lady Davis.
