The Choctaw and her sister-vessel, the Lafayette, required nine feet. The Choctaw mounted three 9-inch smooth-bores and a rifled 100-pounder in her forward casemate. She had a second casemate forward of the wheel where she mounted two 24-pounder howitzers, and a third casemate abaft the wheel containing two 30-pounder Parrott rifled guns.

Batteries were built along the river banks for the purpose of harassing the gunboats, and it was frequently necessary to land the crews of vessels — such as this detachment from the army gunboat Foster, near Point of Rocks — in order effectually to drive off hostile detachments. In the lower picture the Canonicus, one of the newer monitors, is seen coaling on the James. Under Commander E. G. Parrott, the Canonicus participated in the six-hour engagement with Battery Dantzler and the Confederate gunboats on June 21, 1864, and on August 16th and 18th, she, with other vessels, engaged the Virginia and the Richmond and Confederate troops under General R. E. Lee, to cover the advance of Federals under General Butler. The Canonicus participated in the Fort Fisher expedition, and to her belongs the honor of capturing the British blockade-runner Deer off Charleston, February 18, 1865.
