Sigsbee and Clark Staunch Guardians of Navy Valor
The narrative recalls Rear Admiral Charles Sigsbee and Rear Admiral Charles Clark as doyens of the U S Navy. It highlights Sigsbee's cool handling of the Maine disaster and the St Paul engagement with the Terror, and Clark's varied wartime career from the Suwanee rescue to the Oregon command and the Mobile Bay era, ending with his retirement on a younger age than army peers.
