Comments

"attempting ... made two attempts..." repetitive.
- Rephrased
"in 1862. In early 1863" likewise.
- Rephrased
Link Union Navy.
- Linked
"less than $9.00 and" no need for the cents, and suggest you inflate this figure (with an appropriate level of precision).
- Done, and inflated
"the Anaconda plan was" plan or Plan?
- Standardized with Anaconda Plan
"still in Confederate hands" still controlled by the Confederates.
- Done
"Thomas General " don't you mean Thomas Williams?
- Yes, fixed (apparently I slipped up trying to make the piped link)
"of ironclads led " link here in the body.
- Linked
"by intentionally grounded" grounding?
- Corrected to "intentional grounding"
"tell Porter.[16][15]" ref order.
- Swapped
"coal barge[19][16] and" similar.
- Swapped.
"either $8.23[19][23] or $8.63[17][24] " inflate.
- Done
"officer Wirt Adams stated" William Wirt Adams.
- Changed the link, although "Wirt Adams" is probably just as common as "William Wirt Adams"
"about a 1 mile" no need for "a".
- Removed
"Indianola occurred in" took place
- Done
Note [a] needs a full stop.
- Added
"Smith, Myron" ref has some odd italic issues.
- This is actually intentional. Ship names are always italicized, so to set them apart in italic work titles, they are put in normal case so they're in different case. Hog Farm _Talk 14:11, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 08:49, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: - Thanks for the review! All done except for the italics issue, which is intentional with how ship names are presented. Hog Farm _Talk 17:24, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Black Terror on its cruise

... that in 1863, the Union Navy built a ship with an outhouse serving as the pilothouse? Miller 2019 p. 304
- ALT1:... that the ship Black Terror (pictured) flew both the United States flag and a pirate flag at the same time? Shea & Winschel 2003 p. 68 and Miller 2019 p. 305

Comment: As this was really only a "ship" in the most generous usage of the term, there may be better phrasing options.
