Talk:USS Catawba (1864)

Chincha Islands War
Along the way a ref had been added stating that the Catawba had been purchased by Peru for the Chincha Islands War. It seems that ref either must be wrong or have been cited poorly. The Chincha Islands War was from 1864 to 1866. The Catawba wasn't on the market until 1868. I removed the sentence for now. If the original article statement was somehow accurate please clarify it and feel free to put it back in. Zurel Darrillian (talk) 17:22, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
