So It would be :
For the USA: blockade fleet in the two blockade boxes + merchant fleet and raiders in the shipping box
For the CSA: raiders and/or runners in the shipping box + possibly runners in the blockade box
Raiders: only on the shipping box. (USA cannot raid. He is the one being raided).
Runners: only on both blocade boxes
To raid you can use any combat ship.
To run the blocade you need ships with cargo space (see the little icon). That would be brigs or transports but the latter are easy prey and will get sunk a lot, so you are better using only brigs as blocade runners.
Oh, and brigs can also be raiders as they are small combat ships.
But i think brigs serve the CSA much better running the blocade that raiding.
To raid you can use the few frigates you are given for free from time to time (events).
The CSA leader Semmes is excelent both raidng and running. Use him as you like.
So It would be :
For the USA: blockade fleet in the two blockade boxes + merchant fleet and hunting fleet on the shipping box.
For the CSA: raiders in the shipping box (optional) + lot of runners (brigs) on both of the blockade box (very important).
