CSS Fanny
CSS ''Fanny'' was a small propellor-driven steamer used by the Confederate Navy to defend the sounds of northeastern North Carolina. Originally operated by the Union, she was captured early in the war by the Confederate Navy, and later lost at the battle for Elizabeth City. ''Fanny'' is sometimes credited with being the first self-propelled aircraft carrier.〔(US Centennial of Flight )〕 == Union Service ==
The ''Fanny'' was originally operated by the United States Army Quartermaster Corps. On August 3, 1861, while on the James River, ballonist John La Mountain made an ascent from the deck of the ''Fanny'' to observe Confederate positions, making the ''Fanny'' a balloon carrier. Previous water-launched balloon flights had taken place on barges.
