Earlier this month, I wrote about a current U.S. warship named the USS Montgomery (LCS-8) in my Cooter's History Thing blog. I got to wondering if there had been other warships by that name and checked out good ol' Wiki to find out if there were.
There were.
There was a frigate in the American Revolution, a sloop or schooner in the War of 1812, a warship from the Civil War that took part in the attacks of Fort Fisher (of natural interest to me), a protected cruiser from the Spanish American War and a WW II destroyer/minelayer.
I will be writing about these ships in my appropriate blogs: Civil War Navy, History and World War II blogs.
