    2016 Spring Edition The Newport Commandery is proud to announce that on 5 March 2016, Naval War College historian and professor John B. Hattendorf was awarded a Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.) degree from the University of Oxford, England. The degree is considered above the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). It is issued on the basis of high achievement in the respective field or a long record of research and publication to candidates whose record of published work and research shows conspicuous ability and originality and constitutes a distinguished and sustained achievement. The Naval Order has been invited to honor our Historian General, Professor John Hattendorf, on his impending retirement from the Naval War College by subscribing to a book Strategy and the Sea published by Boydell & Brewer. For those of us who are new to the publishing world’s terminology, the word “festschrift” is a volume of learned articles and essays contributed to an edited work by the colleagues and admirers of a scholar, generally as a tribute upon retirement. A “tabula gratulatoria” is a page in that volume that contains the names of people who have contributed either by writing a chapter of the volume, or by helping fund the effort. Each commandery can have its name printed in the tabula by subscribing to the book. Individuals in the commandery can also have their names printed by purchasing their own copy of the book. This book would make a lovely gift for speakers or commandery raffles. John B. Hattendorf is the Ernest J.

PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

    NAVY DEPARTMENT OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS DIVISION OF NAVAL HISTORY (OP 0989) SHIPS' HISTORY SECTION HISTORY OF U. S. NAVY HOSPITAL SHIP RED ROVER The first hospital ship of the United States Navy was originally a commercial side-wheel river steamer RED ROVER built at Cape Girardeau, Missouri, in 1859. She was purchased at New Orleans on 1 November 1861 by the Confederate States of America to serve as a barracks or accommodation ship for the men of the Confederate States Floating Battery NEW ORLEANS which had been placed in commission at New Orleans on 14 Cctober 1861 by Lieutenant John Julius Guthrie, Confederate States Navy. The latter officer jointly commanded the floating battery and the RED ROVER, who had no armament but was more for the men to live on than for active service. She made her way up the Mississippi River as far as Island No. 10 where she assisted in the blockade of the Western Gunboat Flotilla of the Union Army. Lieutenant Guthrie was relieved of his command in March 1862 by Lieutenant G. w. Averett, CSN, and on the 15th of March, Island No. 10 saw the commencement of a naval bombardment by the Western Gunboat Flotilla and Mortar Fleet of the Union Army. Though the floating battery NEW ORLEANS was jarred by the explosions of shells, under and around, she was unharmed. RED ROVER, however, was put out of action early in the bombardment by a piece of shell which cut through all her decks to her bottom and caused her to leak considerably but not dangerously.
