No further changes of status affected the Mosquito Fleet. On the eve of battle, Lynch had at his disposal six ships in the water, each with only enough shot and powder to be able to fire ten times. His flagship, "Sea Bird", carrying two guns, was a converted sidewheel steamer. Three of his other vessels were former tugs: "Appomattox" and "Ellis", each with two guns, and "Beaufort", with only one. "Fanny", with two guns, had been a transport vessel used by the United States Army until she was captured by Confederate forces near Cape Hatteras. The last vessel, "CSS Black Warrior", a schooner that had been pressed into service only four days before the battle, was armed with two 32-pounder guns. In addition to the eleven guns of his fleet, Lynch counted on the four guns of the Cobb's Point battery for support.
