The Confederate navy was small during the US Civil War. Despite that, Confederate warships hampered the Union's naval efforts by sinking a good number of Union cargo ships and warships too. Captain Raphael Semmes was a leading Confederate officer in the war. During his time with the Southern navy, the ships under his command sank or captured over eighty Union ships. His most successful warship was the CSS Alabama.
