With all certainty, the CSS Alabama was the most successful Confederate warship. The ship came into being through the efforts of the Confederate Secretary of War, Mallory. He sent former US Naval officer James D. Bulloch to England to purchase the construction of two light wooden cruisers the CSS Florida and the CSS Alabama. The Alabama was captained by a former US Naval officer, Raphael Semmes. In a two year period, the CSS Alabama sunk 65 Union ships. In 1864, the ship engaged in battle the USS Kearsage, and lost the battle, ending her terror on Union shipping.
The CSS Alabama was built for the Confederate States of America. It became a deadly menace for Union shipping during the US Civil War. The ship was assigned to seize or sink Union cargo vessels. and inflict damage to the Union's economy. Almost 70 Union cargo ships were sunk by this Confederate warship.
The Union government knew that early in the US Civil War that Great Britain was helping the South. They also knew the CSS Alabama was being built for the Confederacy in Liverpool, England. Despite Union protests, as they were aware of this, the British ignored Union protests and continued its ship building work for the South.
The captain of the CSS Alabama was Raphael Semmes. After given refuge in England he returned to the South and was promoted to the rank of rear admiral.Semmes was a thirty year veteran of the US Navy. He joined the Confederate navy at the outbreak of the US Civil War.
