On November 26 Tattnall's flag, "CSS "Old" Savannah", in company with "Resolute" and "Sampson" sortied out from under Fort Pulaski's guns in a "brave but brief" attack on the Union ships outside the bar, driving them out to sea. Tattnall's squadron withdrew up the Savannah River for refit and two days later, the same three resupplied the Fort with six months provisions, despite "the spirited opposition of Federal ships". ""Old Savannah" was partially disabled but returned to harbor. "Sampson" received considerable damage, returning to patrol the Savannah River only in mid-November the following year.
