In the "Later career" section, I changed the reference to Winslow as commander of the "Pacific Fleet" to saying that he was commander of the "Pacific Squadron." According to the history section on the U.S. Pacific Fleet's official website, http://www.cpf.navy.mil/history.htm, the Pacific Fleet was not created until 1907, out of the Pacific Squadron and the Asiatic Fleet (previously the Asiatic Squadron).
