The Union Navy placed her into service as a ship's tender, whose task was to serve the fleet blockading the Confederate States of America. However, she was outfitted with a powerful rifled gun, which helped her in the role of gunboat and the capture of a prize on her own. Fox, a schooner, was built in 1859 at Baltimore, Maryland; used as a blockade runner by the Confederates under the name Alabama; captured 18 April 1863 by Susquehanna; purchased from the prize court 6 May 1863; renamed Fox, her former merchant name; and first put to sea 10 June 1863, Acting Master A. Weston in command.
