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.
