The First Battle of Fort McAllister took place March 3, 1863, in Bryan County, Georgia, during the American Civil War. Rear Adm. Samuel F. Du Pont ordered three ironclads—USS Patapsco, Passaic, and Nahant— to test their guns and mechanical appliances and practice artillery firing by attacking the Confederate defenses at Fort McAllister, then a small three-gun earthwork battery.

- The First Battle of Fort McAllister took place March 3, 1863, in Bryan County, Georgia, during the American Civil War. Rear Adm. Samuel F. Du Pont ordered three ironclads—USS Patapsco, Passaic, and Nahant— to test their guns and mechanical appliances and practice artillery firing by attacking the Confederate defenses at Fort McAllister, then a small three-gun earthwork battery. One of his goals was to determine how effective fire from the monitors' big guns would be against an earthen shore battery. On March 3, 1863, the three ironclads conducted an eight-hour bombardment. The bombardment did not destroy the battery, but it did some damage, while the three ironclads received some scratches and dents from return fire from the fort. The tests were helpful for knowledge and experience gained, but Fort McAllister did not fall, showing that the ironclads’ firepower alone could not destroy an earthen fort.
- De Eerste slag om Fort McAllister vond plaats op 3 maart 1863 in Bryan County, Georgia tijdens de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Viceadmiraal Samuel F. Du Pont stuurde drie ironclads naar het Zuidelijk Fort McAllister om hun nieuwe uitrusting te testen en hun kanonvuur te oefenen. Eén van de testen was om vast te stellen hoe effectief hun nieuwe kanonnen waren tegen forten met aarden wallen. Op 3 maart 1863 voerden de drie ironclads een acht uur durend bombardement uit op het fort. Het bombardement slaagde er niet in de vijandelijke batterijen op het fort te vernietigen. Wel werd het fort beschadigd. Ook liepen de schepen zelf enkele deuken op door de batterijen op het fort. Dit bombardement was nuttig om de nieuwe technologie verder te ontwikkelen. Het fort zelf viel niet omdat het kanonvuur van de ironclads alleen er (nog) niet slaagden het fort uit te schakelen.
