High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Carondelet (1861) was a City class ironclad gunboat constructed for the Union Navy by James B. Eads during the American Civil War. Because of her shallow draft and her combination of heavy guns and a howitzer, she was suited for riverside bombardment and assigned to the Mississippi River area where she operated against forces of the Confederate States of America. USS Carondelet, an ironclad river gunboat, was built in 1861 by James Eads and Co., St. Louis, Missouri, under contract to the United States Department of War. Carondelet was commissioned 15 January 1862, at Cairo, Illinois, naval Captain Henry A. Walke in command, and reported to Western Flotilla (Army), commanded by naval Flag Officer Andrew Hull Foote.
