Thistle was placed in service and used by the Navy as a tugboat and, when the opportunity presented itself, as a gunship, in the blockade of ports of the Confederate States of America. Thistle deployed with the Mississippi Squadron as a tug and reconnaissance vessel in October 1862 and participated in the capture of Fort Hindman, Arkansas Port, Arkansas, on 11 January 1863. From 14 to 27 March, she took part in an expedition in the Steele's Bayou Expedition in Mississippi, attempting to find an entrance into the Yazoo River, Mississippi, and a rear approach to the Confederate stronghold at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
