So you now admit that the fighting sailors were to help get provisions to shore. Good. These "fighting sailors" were assisted by Viking gunships armed with the original 6th Century AD Viking Tomahawk missile.
The effort was only made possible by the dedication of #3Brigade, Remington Raiders.
Unfortunate that he left out the contributions of the early Naval Aviators, who were intended to swoop over Charleston harbor atop giant pterodactyls which the government had been secretly breeding since SC passed her secession ordinance late the prior year.
Early efforts were met with limited success due to the small carrying capacity of the reptiles, who could only support one pilot hand-carrying a 2000 pound GBU-30 (JDAM).
Unfortunately, these early pilots did not have sophisticated inertial nav systems, and had to follow Powhatan. She was lost in a fog and they wandered out to sea, sparking the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle which exists to this very day.
