What customs and courtesies should be observed on an US Navy ship Quarterdeck?
A Navy Ships Quarterdeck is considered a ceremonial area and should be treated as such. No skylarking or loitering is allowed. The Officer of the Deck has complete responsibility and authority on the Quarterdeck and should never be challenged. On approach from the ships brow to the quarterdeck one must turn and face the flag (aft) or salute the flag if military and covered. One must then turn and show ID and salute the Officer Of the Deck and ask their permission to come aboard (enlisted) or state that they have permission to come aboard (officers). When leaving the ship it is done in the reverse order and one asks permission to go ashore (enlisted) or states that they have permission to go ashore (officer). Hats or headgear are not allowed on the quarterdeck unless they are part of the wearers uniform. The Quarterdeck should not be used as a passage from one part of the ship to another. If it is necessary to do so permission from the Officer of the Deck must be requested and granted.

Why was the union navy indequated at the biginning of civil war?
At the beginning of the US Civil War, the US Navy had 90 ships. This does not represent the actual navy in that only 42 were commissioned vessels. It was also the wrong navy for the war the Union had to fight. The navy lacked the equipment and ships for use in coastal and inland waterways that dominated its needed deployment for the war. Any early Union blockade efforts were hampered by this. In addition, the Union lacked ironclad warships.

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."
