USS Advance (1862)
USS Advance, later known as the USS Frolic, was a blockade runner captured by the Union Navy during the closing years of the American Civil War. She was purchased by the Union Navy and outfitted as a gunboat and assigned to the blockade of the waterways of the Confederate States of America. She also served as dispatch ship and supply vessel when military action eventually slowed down.
Service with the Confederacy
The second United States Navy ship to be so named, Advance – a schooner-rigged, sidewheel steamer built at Greenock, Scotland, by Caird & Co. was launched on 3 July 1862 as the Clyde packet Lord Clyde – was jointly purchased by the state of North Carolina and the firm of Lord, Power & Co. to serve as a blockade runner during the Civil War. She was renamed A. D. Vance (in some sources written as "Advance") in honor of the Governor of North Carolina, Zebulon B. Vance. She completed more than 20 highly successful voyages and 40 close calls with Union ships standing blockade watches.

Strategy
Strategy (from Greek στρατηγία stratēgia, "art of troop leader; office of general, command, generalship") is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty. In the sense of the "art of the general", which included several subsets of skills including "tactics", siegecraft, logistics etc., the term came into use in the 6th century C.E. in East Roman terminology, and was translated into Western vernacular languages only in the 18th century. From then until the 20th century, the word "strategy" came to denote "a comprehensive way to try to pursue political ends, including the threat or actual use of force, in a dialectic of wills" in a military conflict, in which both adversaries interact.
Strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited. Strategy generally involves setting goals, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions. A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources). This is generally tasked with determining strategy. Strategy can be intended or can emerge as a pattern of activity as the organization adapts to its environment or competes. It involves activities such as strategic planning and strategic thinking.

Strategy (disambiguation)
A strategy is a long term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal.
Strategy may also refer to:
In biology:
In business:
- Marketing strategy, a process that allows an organization to increase sales and achieve a competitive advantage
- Technology strategy, a document that explains how information technology should be used as part of a business strategy
- Digital strategy, the process of specifying an organization's processes to deploy online assets

Strategy (game theory)
In game theory, player's strategy is any of the options he or she can choose in a setting where the outcome depends not only on his own actions but on the action of others. A player's strategy will determine the action the player will take at any stage of the game.
The strategy concept is sometimes (wrongly) confused with that of a move. A move is an action taken by a player at some point during the play of a game (e.g., in chess, moving white's Bishop a2 to b3). A strategy on the other hand is a complete algorithm for playing the game, telling a player what to do for every possible situation throughout the game.
A strategy profile (sometimes called a strategy combination) is a set of strategies for all players which fully specifies all actions in a game. A strategy profile must include one and only one strategy for every player.
Strategy set
A player's strategy set defines what strategies are available for them to play.
A player has a finite strategy set if they have a number of discrete strategies available to them. For instance, in a single game of rock-paper-scissors, each player has the finite strategy set {rock, paper, scissors}.

Financial market
A financial market is a market in which people trade financial securities, commodities, and other fungible items of value at low transaction costs and at prices that reflect supply and demand. Securities include stocks and bonds, and commodities include precious metals or agricultural products.
In economics, typically, the term market means the aggregate of possible buyers and sellers of a certain good or service and the transactions between them.
The term "market" is sometimes used for what are more strictly exchanges, organizations that facilitate the trade in financial securities, e.g., a stock exchange or commodity exchange. This may be a physical location (like the NYSE, BSE, NSE) or an electronic system (like NASDAQ). Much trading of stocks takes place on an exchange; still, corporate actions (merger, spinoff) are outside an exchange, while any two companies or people, for whatever reason, may agree to sell stock from the one to the other without using an exchange.
Trading of currencies and bonds is largely on a bilateral basis, although some bonds trade on a stock exchange, and people are building electronic systems for these as well, similar to stock exchanges.

The Day the First U.S. Marine Earns a Medal of Honor - May 15, 1862
On May 15, 1862, a small flotilla of U.S. Navy warships - including the ironclads Monitor and Galena - made a run up the James River to bombard the Confederate capital of Richmond into submission. Hastily prepared Confederate defenses and obstructions at Drewry's Bluff halted the U.S. Navy's advance. After hours of trading artillery fire between the high bluffs and the ships on the river, the little fleet abandoned the attack. For his heroic actions onboard the U.S.S. Galena that day, Corporal John Mackie became the first U.S. Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor.

Battle of Fort Donelson (1862)
In this week in military history, we explore the Battle of Fort Donelson which took place in the Western Theater of the American Civil War in 1862. The battle was part of a series of battles meant to cut Confederate supply lines and stop river traffic in support of the Confederacy. At this point in the Civil War, General Ulysses S. Grant and other Union commanders realized that they needed to control the major rivers in the western theatre to defeat the Confederacy. After capturing Fort Henry along the northern branch of the Tennessee River on February 6th, 1862, Grant led the Tennessee Army to advance 12 miles cross country to Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River to meet the Confederate forces that had withdrawn from Fort Henry. Meanwhile, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnsto...

Worden, where she fought the casemate ironclad CSS Virginia (built on the hull of the scuttled steam frigate USS Merrimack) to a stalemate. The design of the ship was distinguished by its revolving turret, which was designed by American inventor Theodore Timby; it was quickly duplicated and established the monitor class and type of armored warship built for the American Navy over the next several decades.
The remainder of the ship was designed by Swedish-born engineer and inventor John Ericsson, and built in only 101 days in Brooklyn, New York on the East River beginning in late 1861. Monitor presented a new concept in ship design and employed a variety of new inventions and innovations in ship building that caught the attention of the world. The impetus to build Monitor was prompted by the news that the Confederates were building an iron-plated armored vessel named the Virginia in the old Federal naval shipyard at Gosport, near Norfolk, that could effectively engage the Union ships blockading Hampton Roads harbor and the James River leading northwest to Richmond (capital of the Confederacy). They could ultimately advance unchallenged on Washington, D.C., up the Potomac River and other seacoast cities. Before Monitor could reach Hampton Roads, the Confederate ironclad had already destroyed the sail frigates USS Cumberland and USS Congress and had run the steam frigate USS Minnesota aground. That night, Monitor arrived and, just as Virginia set to finish off Minnesota and St. Lawrence on the second day, the new Union ironclad confronted the Confederate ship, preventing her from wreaking further destruction on the wooden Union ships. A four-hour battle ensued, each ship pounding the other with close-range cannon fire, although neither ship could destroy or seriously damage the other. This was the first battle fought between armored warships and marked a turning point in naval warfare.
The Confederates were forced to scuttle and destroy Virginia as they withdrew in early May 1862 from Norfolk and its naval shipyard, while Monitor sailed up the James River to support the Union Army during the Peninsula Campaign under General-in-Chief George B. McClellan. The ship participated in the Battle of Drewry's Bluff later that month, and remained in the area giving support to General McClellan's forces on land until she was ordered to join the Union Navy blockaders off North Carolina in December. On her way there, she foundered while under tow during a storm off Cape Hatteras on the last day of the year. Monitor's wreck was discovered in 1973 and has been partially salvaged. Her guns, gun turret, engine, and other relics are on display at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, a few miles from the site of her most important military action.

In this week in military history, we explore the Battle of Fort Donelson which took place in the Western Theater of the American Civil War in 1862. The battle was part of a series of battles meant to cut Confederate supply lines and stop river traffic in support of the Confederacy.
At this point in the Civil War, General Ulysses S. Grant and other Union commanders realized that they needed to control the major rivers in the western theatre to defeat the Confederacy.
After capturing Fort Henry along the northern branch of the Tennessee River on February 6th, 1862, Grant led the Tennessee Army to advance 12 miles cross country to Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River to meet the Confederate forces that had withdrawn from Fort Henry.
Meanwhile, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston sent an additional 12,000 men under the command of Brig. Gen. John B. Floyd to Donelson as reinforcements.
On the morning of February 15th, the battle commenced as the Confederates attacked the right flank of Grant’s forces. Union forces counterattacked that afternoon before Floyd ordered his men to retreat to the fort.
As Confederate commanders decided upon their next move, Grant ordered counterattacks all along the lines, capturing much of the outer battlements by day’s end.
The Confederate forces were able to break out, but instead of retreating from the fort, they decided to pull into entrenchments. Grant continued to attack them and gained ground.
The Confederates eventually escaped, but casualties were high. 2,000 Confederates were killed or wounded and another 11,000 captured. By contrast, Union casualties were 724 killed and 2,000 wounded.
The Union victory and their ability to maintain control of the rivers, cutting off the Confederacy’s supply lines, would eventually lead to the Union success at the Battle of Vicksburg.

Hello, in the American Civil War there were many breakthroughs in technology both on land and sea warfare, and let us go to the date March 8th, 1862, to the Battle of Hampton Roads, on that first date an ironclad defeated several wooden frigates, and later, the next day the first naval action between ironclad powered by steam engines was fought, and here, I have that story.
Well, I hope that you like this video.

After many agonizingly-slow months of preparation, Union Major General George B. McClellan is finally ready to launch his ambitious offensive against Richmond with his Army of the Potomac through a movement up the Virginia Peninsula. This offensive, dubbed the "Peninsula Campaign", is the largest undertaken by the Federals at this time of the war, with over 100,000 troops involved in a movement from Washington to Fort Monroe referred to by a British observer as the "Stride of a Giant." However, a day into launching his offensive up the Peninsula from Fort Monroe, McClellan's campaign grinds to a halt as his forces settle into a siege around Yorktown - site of the famed Revolutionary War siege and British surrender over 80 years earlier. Facing McClellan's enormous army is Major General John B. Magruder's small Army of the Peninsula, steadily being reinforced by Confederate reinforcements streaming into the Yorktown trenches from General Joseph E. Johnston's Army of Northern Virginia. The other, less glamorous Siege of Yorktown has begun...

On May 15, 1862, a small flotilla of U.S. Navy warships - including the ironclads Monitor and Galena - made a run up the James River to bombard the Confederate capital of Richmond into submission. Hastily prepared Confederate defenses and obstructions at Drewry's Bluff halted the U.S. Navy's advance. After hours of trading artillery fire between the high bluffs and the ships on the river, the little fleet abandoned the attack.
For his heroic actions onboard the U.S.S. Galena that day, Corporal John Mackie became the first U.S. Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor.

In the early summer of 1862, the Union Army and Navy set their sights on the city of Memphis in Southwest Tennessee as their next major target on the Mississippi River in order to carry out their gradual stranglehold over the mighty river as part of the Anaconda Plan. For the advance on Memphis, the Union Navy plans on sending out Flag Officer Charles H. Davis' Western Flotilla to seize the city via the river itself. For this mission, the Western Flotilla is reinforced by a peculiar flotilla of repurposed civilian steamboat vessels led by Colonel Charles Ellet - the U.S. Ram Fleet. Meanwhile, the Confederate Navy's River Defense Fleet is moving towards Memphis to defend the strategically-vital river city, one of the last major strongholds on the upper Mississippi River. If Memphis falls to the Union, it will open the way for a Federal advance towards the city of Vicksburg in Mississippi.

USS Monitor was an ironclad warship built for the United States Navy during the American Civil War and completed in early 1862, the first such ship commissioned by the Navy.[a] Monitor played a central role in the Battle of Hampton Roads on 9 March under the command of Lieutenant John L. Worden, where she fought the casemate ironclad CSS Virginia (built on the hull of the scuttled steam frigate USS Merrimack) to a stalemate. The design of the ship was distinguished by its revolving turret, which was designed by American inventor Theodore Timby; it was quickly duplicated and established the monitor class and type of armored warship built for the American Navy over the next several decades.
The remainder of the ship was designed by Swedish-born engineer and inventor John Ericsson, and built in only 101 days in Brooklyn, New York on the East River beginning in late 1861. Monitor presented a new concept in ship design and employed a variety of new inventions and innovations in ship building that caught the attention of the world. The impetus to build Monitor was prompted by the news that the Confederates were building an iron-plated armored vessel named the Virginia in the old Federal naval shipyard at Gosport, near Norfolk, that could effectively engage the Union ships blockading Hampton Roads harbor and the James River leading northwest to Richmond (capital of the Confederacy). They could ultimately advance unchallenged on Washington, D.C., up the Potomac River and other seacoast cities. Before Monitor could reach Hampton Roads, the Confederate ironclad had already destroyed the sail frigates USS Cumberland and USS Congress and had run the steam frigate USS Minnesota aground. That night, Monitor arrived and, just as Virginia set to finish off Minnesota and St. Lawrence on the second day, the new Union ironclad confronted the Confederate ship, preventing her from wreaking further destruction on the wooden Union ships. A four-hour battle ensued, each ship pounding the other with close-range cannon fire, although neither ship could destroy or seriously damage the other. This was the first battle fought between armored warships and marked a turning point in naval warfare.
The Confederates were forced to scuttle and destroy Virginia as they withdrew in early May 1862 from Norfolk and its naval shipyard, while Monitor sailed up the James River to support the Union Army during the Peninsula Campaign under General-in-Chief George B. McClellan. The ship participated in the Battle of Drewry's Bluff later that month, and remained in the area giving support to General McClellan's forces on land until she was ordered to join the Union Navy blockaders off North Carolina in December. On her way there, she foundered while under tow during a storm off Cape Hatteras on the last day of the year. Monitor's wreck was discovered in 1973 and has been partially salvaged. Her guns, gun turret, engine, and other relics are on display at the Mariners' Museum in Newport News, Virginia, a few miles from the site of her most important military action.

In this week in military history, we explore the Battle of Fort Donelson which took place in the Western Theater of the American Civil War in 1862. The battle was part of a series of battles meant to cut Confederate supply lines and stop river traffic in support of the Confederacy.
At this point in the Civil War, General Ulysses S. Grant and other Union commanders realized that they needed to control the major rivers in the western theatre to defeat the Confederacy.
After capturing Fort Henry along the northern branch of the Tennessee River on February 6th, 1862, Grant led the Tennessee Army to advance 12 miles cross country to Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River to meet the Confederate forces that had withdrawn from Fort Henry.
Meanwhile, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston sent an additional 12,000 men under the command of Brig. Gen. John B. Floyd to Donelson as reinforcements.
On the morning of February 15th, the battle commenced as the Confederates attacked the right flank of Grant’s forces. Union forces counterattacked that afternoon before Floyd ordered his men to retreat to the fort.
As Confederate commanders decided upon their next move, Grant ordered counterattacks all along the lines, capturing much of the outer battlements by day’s end.
The Confederate forces were able to break out, but instead of retreating from the fort, they decided to pull into entrenchments. Grant continued to attack them and gained ground.
The Confederates eventually escaped, but casualties were high. 2,000 Confederates were killed or wounded and another 11,000 captured. By contrast, Union casualties were 724 killed and 2,000 wounded.
The Union victory and their ability to maintain control of the rivers, cutting off the Confederacy’s supply lines, would eventually lead to the Union success at the Battle of Vicksburg.

USS Advance (1862)
USS Advance, later known as the USS Frolic, was a blockade runner captured by the Union Navy during the closing years of the American Civil War. She was purchased by the Union Navy and outfitted as a gunboat and assigned to the blockade of the waterways of the Confederate States of America. She also served as dispatch ship and supply vessel when military action eventually slowed down.
Service with the Confederacy
The second United States Navy ship to be so named, Advance – a schooner-rigged, sidewheel steamer built at Greenock, Scotland, by Caird & Co. was launched on 3 July 1862 as the Clyde packet Lord Clyde – was jointly purchased by the state of North Carolina and the firm of Lord, Power & Co. to serve as a blockade runner during the Civil War. She was renamed A. D. Vance (in some sources written as "Advance") in honor of the Governor of North Carolina, Zebulon B. Vance. She completed more than 20 highly successful voyages and 40 close calls with Union ships standing blockade watches.
