On December 7, 1863, the U.S. War Department transferred to the Navy two wooden-hulled, side-wheel rams then being built at New Albany, Indiana, for the Army's Mississippi Marine Brigade. On taking possession of the still-unfinished vessels, Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter—then commanding the Mississippi Squadron—suggested that they be named Avenger and Vindicator. On December 19, Avenger was assigned to the Mississippi River Squadron's Third District, responsible for controlling the river between Natchez, MS, and the mouth of the Red River. Completed late February 1864, the ship was commissioned at Cairo, IL, on Feb. 29, Acting Volunteer Lt. Charles A. Wright in command. In May 1864, Avenger was stationed at Morganza, LA, and carried out blockading duties between Morganza and Donaldsonville through November, when she was ordered to help patrol the river between Vicksburg and Natchez.
