I am doing the assassination of Lincoln in real time in regards to the U.S. Navy's role in it.
APRIL 16TH, 1865: The Navy Department directed on April 17, that a gun be fired in honor of the late President Lincoln each half hour, from sunrise to sunset, that all flags be kept at half mast until after the funeral, and that all officers wear mourning crepe for six months.
