The answer to your question is a long an tedious one. Knowing that there were more than 600 ships by the end of the war, you will not get a list! But, I do have help for self research. The "Civil War Naval Chronology 1861-1865" is a good start. Some libraries have it for check out, others have it for reference only. Online at moa.cit.cornell.edu is another good reference, this site takes a little time to navigate, you will find a list of USS and CSS ships. The websites that come up on search engines don't even come close to the lists on these two references. Good Luck, Jim P.S. In the MOA click on browse, arrow down to official records of the navies,click on simple search-you want series II, vol. 1
