  • Die United States Ram Fleet (Widderschiffe der Vereinigten Staaten) war eine kleine Gruppe von Ironclad-Kriegsschiffen auf dem Mississippi River während des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs. Im März 1862 autorisierte die U.S. Army den bekannten Zivilingenieur Charles Ellet Jr., eine Flotte von Dampf-Widderschiffen für den Einsatz auf den Westlichen Flüssen aufzubauen. Ellet konvertierte verschiedene, leistungsstarke Fluss-Schlepper zu Rammschiffen, indem er den Rumpf für diesen Zweck massiv verstärkte. Der Aufbau sowie die Heizkessel besaßen nur eine geringe Panzerung, und die Schiffe erhielten ursprünglich keine Artillerie. (de)

Elle regroupait un groupe de navires-béliers conçus par un civil, puis colonel, Charles Ellet, Jr. Ils combattirent afin de contribuer à sécuriser le Mississippi contre les forces sudistes. Cette marine fluviale a joué un rôle important dans la bataille de Memphis, en juin 1862. Elle a aussi contribué à la sécurisation des rives du Mississippi, en transportant une unité particulière d'infanterie de marine. (fr)
