Add |Ship type=Gunboat
- Done
Either introduce the ship type for every ship in the lede, or do it for none
- Should be standardized now
"inactivated" - either "inactive" or "deactivated"
- Changed
"She continued service in the Savannah are in 1864" something missing here
- A spelling error; "are" should have been "area"
"covered the Confederate retreat from the city" sentence doesn't say what covered the retreat
- Fixed
Scuttling and "Burned to prevent capture" are not the same thing
- Have reworded both here and later in the article
Suggest formatting the armament as * 1 × Dahlgren gun<br/>* 1 × Brooke rifle
- Done

Main text doesn't actually mention the ACW directly
- Done
Do we know Maury's rank?
- Added, although I had to use a different source than Canney, who apparently never references Maury by rank
Link Confederate States Navy
- It was linked earlier on Confederate in a kind of MOS:EGG-gy way, so I've cleaned up the linking there
Give Chattahoochee her ship type
- Done, and have added a page to the cited page range for where this info came from
"considers the use of more secure fastening to be significant" in what way?

Give the ship types for Savannah and Sampson
- Added - I've gone with gunboat and receiving ship, which was the roles the two generally served.
"which moved downstream"
- Done
"desparate" is this a sp?
- I checked Browning, and this is a spelling error on my part
"helsman" sp
- Ugh. Fixed. I blame the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for my spelling issues
"returning Kennard" Kennard isn't a ship!
- I cannot fathom why I would have italicized that
Why were men being transferred to Charleston?
- added - Union forces were attacking the city
"Charleton" sp
- oops, fixed
What was Armstrong's rank?
- Added, Lt.
"Causten's Bluff is circled in red in the upper right." upper left?
- Fixed, and have also fixed the spelling issue of "Causten" vs "Causton"
"Permament command of Isondiga was Lieutenant Hamilton Dalton." something missing here
- Rephrased
Give Sherman's rank, ibid Hardee
- Added, although I had to plug in Browning to support the exact ranks
"On December 13, Fort McAllister was captured by Union forces." need some context as to why this is relevant
- Have expanded on this a bit
"On December 18, Hunter ordered"?
- Fixed
Give Firefly her ship type
