While leaving, "Hampton" managed to entangle her screw propeller in "Virginia II"'s anchor chain. They suffered more heavy fire on their return upriver from Fort Brady, and "Virginia II" ran aground again before making it to the safety of Chaffin's Bluff. "Virginia II" had at least 6 killed and more than a half dozen wounded from the action; she also suffered heavy battle damage which required extensive repairs. Her smokestack was destroyed, the engines became faulty, and her iron armor and underlying wooden framework were damaged.
