As an officer of the ironclad CSS ''Virginia'', he took part in her March–May 1862 actions in the vicinity of Hampton Roads. Subsequently, he served in the gunboats CSS ''Nansemond'' on the James River, and CSS ''Selma'' in Mobile Bay. During the American Civil War's final year, while assigned to the Mobile Squadron, he commanded the ironclads CSS ''Baltic'' and CSS ''Nashville''. First Lieutenant Simms surrendered to Federal forces in early May 1865 and was paroled soon afterwards.
