Here is a list of men that were in some navy battles. These are not rosters of the crew, but names that were in many reports. Those of you who are looking for a ancestor that was on one of these ships but was not found here, you may went to look at another of my pages called, ( Killed, Wounded & Missing in Civil War Navy Battles.) Those names are also from many of these ships.
Those of you who were looking for a ancestor and are surprised to find him or her on a navy list, of battles. All I can say is that men of the Coast Guard, Marines, Army Soldiers and Civilians were on some these ships for one reason or another.
Note. This information will come from No. 1158---House Executive Document No. 1
Department of Navy, which is housed at the library of Congress.
