What The Confederate Navy posed to the US Navy?
By the word "posed," I assume you are asking about the kind of threat it posed towards the US Navy. "The C.S. Navy could never achieve equality with the Union Navy and used technological innovation, such as ironclads, submarines, torpedo boats, and naval mines (then known as torpedoes) to gain advantage over the Union Navy. In February 1861, the Confederate Navy had thirty ships, only fourteen of which were seaworthy, while the Union Navy had ninety vessels. The C.S. Navy eventually grew to 101 ships to meet the rise in naval conflicts and enemy threats."
