Excerpt from Report on the Secretary of the Navy, With an Appendix, Containing Reports From Officers: December, 1864
After many years of peace and comparative inactivity, the oficers and sailors of our navy were suddenly called to the performance of extraordinary and ex acting duties, and during nearly four years of exhausting civil war they have manifested their attachment to the Union and their fidelity to the national flag by rigidly enforcing a gigantic blockade of our coast, by vigilantly patrolling the great national rivers of the interior, and by a succession of ocean and coast wise expeditions, achievements which have not only added to our naval renown but greatly promoted our national integrity and strength.
