The Union Navy was the United States Navy (USN) during the American Civil War, when it fought the Confederate States Navy (CSN). The term is sometimes used carelessly[citation needed] to include vessels of war used on the rivers of the interior while they were under the control of the United States Army, also called the Union Army.
