I created this so that there would be no red links on the American Civil War Menu template. I have relatively little interest in naval matters, so invite swabbies out there to jump in. Hal Jespersen 21:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Union Navy. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{
Sourcecheck}}
).

I am not at all equipped to provide it but the section indicated could be a lot more informative. Many might be interested in more on the racial composition, sure, but equally the sociology could be made clearer by information on regional origins of sailors, class origins, previous seafaring backgrounds, immigrant versus native born and so on. Given the navy grew from a tiny force to a temporarily huge one, I suspect it was drawing on sources beyond those of the regular navy, and could have been less biased than it toward perhaps denizens of seafaring communities and bringing in others. Comparison to the vastly larger army, which was pulling in significant numbers of all sorts of groups including Irish immigrants, would be of interest.
This kind of information is commonly of interest when discussing any military or naval service undergoing rapid wartime expansion. The present section is desperately thin. Random noter ( talk) 23:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
