Bennett W. Green-- Part 6: Confederate Service
Service Abroad: 1863-1865.
CSS Stonewall: 1865
Service Abroad was in Europe where officers were detailed for operations on Confederate cruisers.
The CSS Stonewall was an English-built ironclad ship that arrived in the Confederacy too late. It was powerful and would have been the Confederacy's best ironclad and mounted a 300 pdr. Armstrong rifle gun and two 70-pdr. Armstrong rifled guns.
