Purchased in personal capacity by Captain John A. Stevenson of New Orleans, the ship was transformed into a military vessel at Algiers port, Louisiana. The uniqueness of its design included rearming it with a shell-like hull and positioning its deck in a relatively low position, making it an easier target for enemy ships. It entered official service in September 1861, purchased by the Confederate government in December 1861, after initial deployment that month. On October 12, 1861, CSS Manassas executed its first attack on union forces at the naval blockade of the Mississippi River. The USS Richmond suffered significant damage but did not sink; meanwhile, CSS Manassas received minor damage due to excessive force exerted in its counterattack, requiring repair afterward.
