General Nathan Bedford Forrest's victory at the Battle of Johnsonville (3 Nov 1864) is the only time in military history a cavalry unit defeated a naval force.
Forrest netted 4 gunboats, 14 steamboats, 17 barges, 32 guns, 150 prisoners, and over 75,000 tons of supplies. The estimated damage to the Union was 6.7 million dollars.
