USS Carondelet (1861) was a City class ironclad gunboat constructed for the Union Navy during the American Civil War.Because of her shallow draft and her combination of heavy guns and a howitzer, she was suited for riverside bombardment and assigned to the Mississippi River area where she operated against forces of the Confederate States of America.She participated in many engagements during the war.In 1873, a flood swept the Carondelet from her moorings in Gallipolis, Ohio. She then drifted approximately 130 miles down the Ohio River.
