The River Defense Fleet was a set of fourteen vessels in Confederate service, intended to assist in the defense of New Orleans in the early days of the American Civil War. All were merchant ships or towboats that were seized by order of the War Department in Richmond and converted into warships by arming each with one or two guns, protecting their engines by an interior bulkhead, and strengthening their bows so they could be used as rams. Although they were nominally a part of the Confederate States Army, all of their officers and most of their crews were civilians. A portion of the fleet was retained in the south part of the Mississippi River and a portion was sent north to defend against Union movement from the north.

rdfs:comment	河川防衛艦隊（かせんぼうえいかんたい、英語: River Defense Fleet）は、南北戦争初期において、アメリカ連合国（南部連合）がニューオーリンズ防衛のため14隻の船舶を以て編成した部隊である。所属船舶はいずれもの命令によって接収された商船ないし曳船で、1門ないし2門の火砲、エンジンを保護する隔壁、衝角として用いることができる頑丈な船首などを追加することで、軍艦に改装されていた。名目上は連合国陸軍の一部隊とされていたものの、各船舶に乗り込んだ士官全員と水兵の大部分は民間人だった。艦隊のうち、一部はミシシッピ川南部に留まり、一部は合衆国軍（北軍）の侵攻を食い止めるべく北部へと派遣された。南部に残った艦隊は、ジャクソン砦・セントフィリップ砦の戦いに参加した。また、北部に派遣された艦隊は、およびメンフィスの戦いに参加した。河川防衛艦隊が北軍船舶に対抗できたのは非常に限られた状況下においてのみで、大抵の場合は圧倒されていた。1862年半ばまでに、北軍による撃沈、あるいは乗組員による放棄によって、船舶は数を減らし続け、河川防衛艦隊は壊滅した。 (ja) La Flota de Defensa Fluvial fue un conjunto de 14 barcos al servicio de la Confederación, destinados a ayudar en la defensa de Nueva Orleans en los primeros días de la Guerra de Secesión. Todos eran barcos mercantes o remolcadores que fueron incautados por orden del Departamento de Guerra en Richmond y convertidos en barcos de guerra armando cada uno con uno o dos cañones, protegiendo sus motores con un mamparo interior y fortaleciendo sus proas para que pudieran usarse como arietes. Aunque nominalmente formaban parte del Ejército de los Estados Confederados, todos sus oficiales y la mayoría de sus tripulaciones eran civiles. Una parte de la flota se retuvo en la parte sur del río Misisipi y una parte se envió al norte para defenderse del movimiento de la Unión desde el norte.

River Defense Fleet) — флотилія з чотирнадцяти суден у службі Конфедеративних Штатів Америки, призначена для надання допомоги в обороні Нового Орлеана у перші дні Громадянської війни. Всі вони були торговими суднами або буксирами, які були конфісковані за наказом Військового департаменту в Ричмонді і перетворені на військові кораблі. Незважаючи на те, що вони номінально входили до складу армії Конфедерації, всі їхні офіцери і більшість їхніх екіпажів були цивільними особами. Частина флоту залишилася в південній частині річки Міссісіпі поблизу Нового Орлеана, а частина була направлена на північ, щоб захиститися від наступу Союзу. (uk)
