'''CSS ''Tennessee''''' was a [[casemate ironclad]] [[naval ram|ram]] built for the [[Confederate Navy]] during the [[American Civil War]]. She served as the [[flagship]] of [[Admiral]] [[Franklin Buchanan]] (who would later be captured in the same ship), commander of the Mobile Squadron, after her commissioning. She was captured in 1864 by the [[Union Navy]] during the [[Battle of Mobile Bay]] and then participated in the Union's subsequent [[Siege of Fort Morgan]]. ''Tennessee'' was decommissioned after the war and sold in 1867 for [[ship breaking|scrap]].
