The Second Battle of Tabasco, also known as the Battle of Villahermosa, was a battle fought in June 1847 during the Mexican-American War as part of the U.S. blockade of Mexican Gulf ports.〔 ==Background== Commodore Matthew C. Perry, commander of the U.S. Home Squadron had recently captured the port cities of Tuxpan and Carmen.〔Bauer, K.J., 1974, The Mexican War, 1846-1848, New York:Macmillan, ISBN 0803261071〕 He next decided to move against the city of San Juan Bautista (present day Villahermosa), the capital of the state of Tabasco.〔 Perry had received reports in April that the Mexican commander in Tabasco, Col. Domingo Echagaray, had strengthened the city's defenses and built obstructions in the Tabasco River (present day Grijalva River).〔 Perry assembled the Mosquito Fleet, consisting of the steamboats ''Scourge'', ''Scorpion'', ''Spitfire'', and ''Vixen'', plus the brigs ''Washington'', ''Stromboli'', and ''Vesuvius'', and the merchant schooner ''Spitfire'', off Frontera on 14 June and began moving upstream, towing 40 ship's boats carrying 1,050 men and seven surfboats with a field piece each.〔
