John E. Jones received a Medal of Honor aboard the USS Oneida during the Battle of Mobile Bay on August 5, 1864. I came across another sailor from that ship who also received one.
I went to the Wikipedia site on the USS Oneida and found that they weren't the only ones receiving that high honor.
A total of eight sailors were recipients for that engagement. Somebody must have been quite busy with the nominations.
