[edit] WP:MilHist Assessment

A very nice start, and I especially like the picture. But for such a major element of the history of this period, I should think that a lot more could be said on the subject. Maybe some further examples of people who held letters of marque, more description as to how they differed between the nations, and some more about how one obtained Letters.

[edit] CSS Alabama

The CSS Alabama is properly described as a commerce raider. She was a regularly commissioned vessel and acting under the authority of the CS Navy, rather than a privately owned ship acting on a letter of marque. JE1977 23:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
