USS Cairo / ˈ k eɪ r oʊ / is the lead ship of the City-class casemate ironclads built at the beginning of the American Civil War to serve as river gunboats. Cairo is named for Cairo, Illinois. In June 1862, she captured the Confederate garrison of Fort Pillow on the Mississippi River, enabling Union forces to occupy Memphis.
The Cairo was one of the weapons designed by the North to wrest the lower Mississippi River away from the South. After an otherwise colorless career, the Cairo finally made naval history on 12 December 1862, as the first armed vessel to be sunk by a torpedo (mine) detonated electrically.
