Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raphael Semmes (1809 ¿ 1877) was an officer in the U S Navy and Confederate States Navy. During the American Civil War he was captain of the famous commerce raider CSS Alabama, taking a record sixty-nine prizes. Later he was promoted to Admiral and then Brigadier General. In 1861 Semmes went to New Orleans to convert a steamer into the USS Sumter. Semmes ran the Federal blockade in the Sumter and commenced a career as one of the greatest commerce raiders in naval history. In the 6 months he commanded the Sumter he raided U.S. commercial shipping in the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, accounting for 18 merchant vessels while eluding pursuing Union warships. He then commanded the USS Alabama. Semmes sailed on the Alabama from 1862 to 1864. Semmes went from the Atlantic, to the Gulf of Mexico, around the Cape of Good Hope, and into the East Indies. The Alabama is credited with capturing 69 U.S. merchantmen and destroying the U.S. warship USS Hatteras.

Book excerpt: This work provides biographies of more than 500 men and women who have served as admiral, vice admiral, or rear admiral. While officers from the U.S., British, French and Japanese navies make up the bulk of the work, officers from 22 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain, are also included. The main criterion for inclusion is that each person must have actively served in the rank of at least rear admiral, but not necessarily in enemy action. This effectively rules out people who were granted the rank on retirement, as a courtesy title or posthumously. The book also includes lists of admirals organized by nationality and by year of birth.
