Historical background
According to the National Park Service:
"During the Vicksburg Campaign, ironclads were used extensively to provide additional firepower during bombardments, and patrol the Mississippi and its tributaries for enemy activity. They were also used as shields when the Navy convoyed fragile troop transports past the Confederate guns defending Vicksburg."
See The Long, Gruesome Fight to Capture Vicksburg from the American Battlefield Trust for more information.
