The Battle of Port Royal was one of the earliest amphibious operations of the American Civil War, in which a United States Navy fleet and United States Army expeditionary force captured Port Royal Sound, South Carolina, between Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, on November 7 1861. The sound was guarded by two forts on opposite sides of the entrance, Fort Walker on Hilton Head Island to the south and Fort Beauregard on Phillip's Island to the north.

  • The Battle of Port Royal was one of the earliest amphibious operations of the American Civil War, in which a United States Navy fleet and United States Army expeditionary force captured Port Royal Sound, South Carolina, between Savannah, Georgia and Charleston, South Carolina, on November 7 1861. The sound was guarded by two forts on opposite sides of the entrance, Fort Walker on Hilton Head Island to the south and Fort Beauregard on Phillip's Island to the north. A small force of four gunboats supported the forts, but did not materially affect the battle. The attacking force assembled outside of the sound beginning on November 3 after being battered by a storm during their journey down the coast. Because of losses in the storm, the army was not able to land, so the battle was reduced to a contest between ship-based guns and those on shore. The fleet moved to the attack on November 7, after more delays caused by the weather during which additional troops were brought into Fort Walker. Flag Officer Du Pont ordered his ships to keep moving in an elliptical path, bombarding Fort Walker on one leg and Fort Beauregard on the other; the tactic had recently been used effectively at the Battle of Hatteras Inlet. His plan soon broke down, however, and most ships took enfilading positions that exploited a weakness in Fort Walker. The Confederate gunboats put in a token appearance, but fled up a nearby creek when challenged. Early in the afternoon, most of the guns in the fort were out of action, and the soldiers manning them fled to the rear. A landing party from the flagship took possession of the fort. When Fort Walker fell, the commander of Fort Beauregard across the sound feared that his soldiers would soon be cut off with no way to escape, so he ordered them to abandon the fort. Another landing party took possession of the fort and raised the Union flag the next day. Despite the heavy volume of fire, loss of life on both sides was low, at least by standards set later in the Civil War. Only eight were killed in the fleet and eleven on shore, with four other Southerners missing. Total casualties came to less than 100.

  • ポートロイヤルの戦い（ポートロイヤルのたたかい、英:Battle of Port Royal）は、南北戦争でも初期の水陸協働作戦の一つであり、1861年11月7日に、北軍の海軍艦隊と陸軍遠征隊が、ジョージア州サバンナとサウスカロライナ州チャールストンの間にあるポートロイヤル・サウンドを占領した。このサウンドはその入り口両岸にある南側のヒルトンヘッド島のウォーカー砦と北側のフィリップ島のボーリガード砦という2つの砦で守られていた。南軍の砲艦4隻も砦を支援していたが、実質的に戦闘の行方に影響しなかった。 攻撃部隊は大西洋を下ってくる間の嵐でかなり損傷を受けた後に、11月3日からサウンドの外で集結した。嵐による損失のために陸軍は上陸できなかったので、戦闘は艦隊の大砲と陸の砦の大砲との間での戦いとなった。 北軍艦隊は天候のために攻撃開始が遅れて、11月7日に攻撃のために移動したが、その間に南軍のウォーカー砦には援軍が到着した。海軍将官サミュエル・デュポンはその艦船を楕円形の航路の上で動かしながら、ある区間ではウォーカー砦、またある区間ではボーリガード砦に砲撃させた。この戦術はその前8月にハッテラス入り江砲台の戦いで効果的に採用されたところだった。しかし、デュポンの作戦は間もなく崩れ、大半の艦船はウォーカー砦の弱点に付け込む形で縦射できる配置を採った。南軍の砲艦4隻は形だけ顔を出したが、交戦を挑まれたときは近くのクリークに逃げ込んだ。午後早い時間にウォーカー砦の大砲の大半は使えなくなり、砦の守備隊が後方に逃げ出した。北軍旗艦からの上陸隊が砦を占領した。 ウォーカー砦が陥落すると、対岸のボーリガード砦の指揮官は兵士達が直ぐに脱出路を抑えられるのを恐れ、砦を放棄するよう命令した。別の上陸部隊がボーリガード砦を占領し、翌日星条旗を掲げた。 投入された火力は大きかったが、両軍とも南北戦争のその後の標準的な戦闘に比べて人命損失は小さかった。北軍艦隊の戦死者はわずか8名、南軍の砦では11名のみであり、他に南軍の4名が不明となった。負傷者を合わせた全損失は100名に満たなかった。
