	The Bay Fight, A Sketch of the Battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864, By William F. Hutchinson, MD
		One by one the more northern strongholds of the rebel seacoast had fallen before the combined attacks of our gallant army and navy, and at last all was in readiness to deal a blow on the Gulf coast, which should blot out the most important station remaining in the possession of the rebel government.
		Considerable delay had already been experienced in awaiting the arrival of the heavy monitors, without whose aid it was deemed unwise to attack the formidable ram Tennessee, of whose strength we only knew that the rebel engineers called her the most powerful ever built, and no one had yet forgotten the Atlanta or the Merrimac.
		The USS Brooklyn led the line of U.S Ships in the action at Mobile Bay, because she had equipment aboard to remove torpedoes or mines laid by the Confederates in the channel to the city.

	USN Ships--USS Chickasaw (1864-1874) at Mobile Bay
		USS Chickasaw was the last in line of the four monitors that covered Rear Admiral Farragut's fleet as it passed Fort Morgan during the Battle of Mobile Bay, and was the only one whose performance that day was not flawed by tragedy or mechanical breakdowns.
		Skillfully using her four propellers to crab along sideways, the monitor was able to maintain a rapid and relentless fire against the rear of Tennessee's iron-armored casemate, preventing her from using her guns to fire aft, probably cutting her steering chains, and so weakening the casemate that it was brought to the verge of collapse.
		The two twin-turret monitors depicted off her bow and stern are USS Winnebago and USS Chickasaw.
