CSS Alabama
The CSS Alabama was commissioned on August 24, 1862. It was built by Great Britain and was disguised as a supply ship while in British waters. It became a deadly Southern warship.
What would become the CSS Alabama was built in Liverpool for the Confederate States of America. In order to avoid breaking the UK's neutrality laws, the ship sailed with a British crew to the Azores where eight guns were loaded on to the ship. Captain Semmes met the ship there and soon the new CSS Alabama was ready to begin sinking Union cargo ships.
CSS Alabama was created on 1862-08-24.
CSS Alabama ended on 1864-06-19.
The CSS Hunley sank four times during its sea trials. Undeterred, the Hunley did sink one Union ship but also destroyed itself.
The ship sank to the bottom of the ocean.
