Re: Gunboat numbers - and not tinclads

Nothing in Silverstone, but you probably already know that. I didn't check every reference in the ORN, but I noticed that "gunboat no. 7" refered to tinclad "New Era" as well as 90-day gunboat "Itasca." CSS Alabama was called "gunboat no. 290."

Flag numbers within a squadron maybe?
