Yes, they established an immediate Naval Blockade of all Mexican ports and then began to destroy any and all Mexican shipping on both coasts. Bluejackets and Marines occupied Monterey, Alta California on 7 July 1846, and on 13 August 1846, Marnes occupied the Pueblo of Los Angeles but withdrew on 30 September to their ship at San Pedro.

The amphibious landings at Veracruz and Naval gunfire support in the Siege were also a major US Navy contribution to the Mexican American War.
