Comments by "Frank DeMaris" (@kemarisite) on "American Civil War - River War Pt 2 - With reflections on other naval matters" video.

  1. Drach talks about 11" and 15" Dahlgrens using massive shells at moderate velocity. 16" Mark 8, 12" Mark 18, 8" Mark 21, and 6" Mark 35: "Yep, that's my grand daddy." In defense of the naval cutbacks after 1865, the Union did need to maintain more of an army for Reconstruction of the traitor states than it would normally have liked after a war.
