Immediately following her capture and repair, ''Tennessee'' was commissioned in the [[United States Navy]], [[Lieutenant|Acting Volunteer Lieutenant]] Pierre Giraud in command. The ironclad participated in the Federal [[Siege of Fort Morgan|assault on Fort Morgan]] on August 23 which resulted in the fort's capitulation that same day. That autumn, she moved from [[Mobile, Alabama]], to [[New Orleans, Louisiana]], for repairs before joining the [[Mississippi Squadron]]. She served on the [[Mississippi River]] through the end of the war in April 1865 and briefly thereafter. On August 19, 1865, ''Tennessee'' was placed out of commission and was laid up at New Orleans. There, she remained until November 27, 1867, when she was sold at auction to J. F. Armstrong for scrapping. Though the remainder of the vessel was scrapped, two 7-inch [[Brooke rifle]]s and two 6.4-inch Brooke rifles were preserved and are still on display in the Old weapons exhibit in East Willard Park at the [[Washington Navy Yard]], [[Washington, D.C.]] One of her 6.4-inch (160&nbsp;mm) double-banded Brooke rifled cannon is on display at the headquarters of the Commander-in-Chief U. S. Atlantic Command at the Norfolk, Virginia, Naval base. One of her 7-inch [[Brooke rifle]]s is on display at the city hall of Selma, Alabama, where it was cast.
