 *  Weak Keep - I added a reference and there are a few more ( but just snippet view for them ). He possibly passes SOLDIER(5) for his command of CSS Florida (given the nature of the Confederate fleet - this could be seen as a capital ship for this fleet) and possibly SOLDIER(4) for his role in the battle of Hampton Roads. Beyond soldier, seems he does pass ( weakly ) GNG.Icewhiz (talk) 06:52, 15 August 2017 (UTC) Modified to Keep - further improved sourcing (with proper search keywords - he shows up in several civil-war books), and asserted significance of his role in Hampton Roads (he captured several prizes while the Federal fleet was focused on CSS Virgina). He is also listed as commander of the Galveston Squadron (briefly, before leaving for Europe) - which would further make a case for SOLDIER(5).Icewhiz (talk) 07:36, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
