Union Naval Units Best Use?

[bk6583]

I'm talking about Ocean ships. It's summer 1863 and I've amassed a decent number of blockade flotillas. Is it a good strategy to use to blockade ports like Charleston and Savanah (Hampton Roads is a given) or use them only for the Atlantic and Gulf blockade boxes? Or should I shuffle groups of four frigates in and out of bloackading Charleston and Savanah, as just two port examples?

Extra question - is the 10lb Parrot the best arty unit to build as the Union to put in the field either with divisions or in augmenting corps stacks?

I was wondering the same thing.

What is the most efficient for the blockade of the CSA ?

Put the South's ports under a direct blockade or increase the number of ships in the blockade boxes ? Do the both ?
