The Battle of Wassaw Sound (or the Capture of CSS Atlanta) was an American Civil War naval battle between the Confederate ram CSS Atlanta and the Passaic-class ironclad monitors USS Weehawken and USS Nahant and the gunboat USS Cimmerone (later named Cimmaron), which took place on 17 June 1863 in Wassaw Sound, a bay in the present day state of Georgia. Atlanta ran aground while attempting to break the Union blockade, and after a short battle surrendered to the Union forces. Captain Rodgers became a national hero, and he was promoted to commodore and received the Thanks of Congress as a result of his decisive victory.

  • Бій у Вассоу Саунд (Wassaw Sound) (або захоплення CSS Atlanta) був морським боєм між броньованим тараном конфедератів "Атланта" і в моніторами типу "Пассаїк" USS Weehawken та USS Nahant, підтриманих канонерським човнлом USS Cimmerone (пізніше названий Cimmaron ), який відбувся 17 червня 1863 року в Вассоу Саунд, затоці у сучасному штаті Джорджія. "Атланта" сіла на мілину під час спроби прорвати блокаду Флоту Союзу. Оскільки монітори отримали змогу атакувати знерухомлений корабель противника з напрямку, що практично унеможливлював вогонь у відповідь, після короткого бою "Атланта" здалася, ставши першим захопленим броненосцем південців. Капітан "Weehawken" Роджерс став національним героєм, і його підвищили у званні до комодора. Він також отримав Подяку Конгресу за свою перемогу. (uk)
