**** the torpedoes, full speed ahead" Union Admiral Farragut famously said during the naval battle of Mobile Bay.
If the Union had the ships to blockade the sea entrances to southern harbors, then it was the confederate torpedo (a mine) that mainly prevented those Union ships from entering the harbors themselves. Confederate torpedoes were a deadly weapon, and the Union ship captain's feared them.
