It happened. First one I wikipedia'd was the first battle of Fort Fisher - a corp of the Army of the James versus a division of the Army of Northern Virginia.

I've never assaulted New Orleans with that many troops at once, but try landing one corp on Fort Jackson, the other on Fort St Phillip, and then the following turn (while sieging), recreate the army. Or run the blockade, take Baton Rouge, and then march south the following turn with the multiple corps.

But was that an actual amphibious assault? I directly referenced that. They were unloaded quite a
ways away from the fort, reformed and then marched to attack it both times they made the attempt.
The landing was unopposed because Hoke's division stayed close to Wilmington in order to defend it.
