The Gulf and Inland Waters / The Navy in the Civil War. Volume 3.

by A. T. Mahan

[42] The other vessels not having been North are assumed to have had the same batteries as in the preceding April.

[43] The batteries in January, 1862, are given in the text, pp. 16-17.

[44] The De Kalb's battery was changed before the end of the month. See p. 122.

[45] Two of these are inventoried as "smooth-bore Brooke, double-banded," which seems unlikely.
