Fifteen inch rifle?? Harriet Lane's armament was considerably increased for war service, but the southern press seems to have had bigger guns than the Union Navy

Her armamanet at Galveston is given in the ORN as

One 30-pounder rifle, 1 X-inch pivot, 2 IX-inch Marsilly, 2 24-pounder howitzers.​

The X- and IX inch guns were presumably Dahlgrens.
