Best Answer

Probably the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise; the only Survivor out of the three sisters, USS Yorktown (sunk at the Battle of Midway), USS Hornet (sunk at the Battle of Santa Cruz). Much to the heartbreak of most US Sailors of WW2, she was scrapped (re-cycled) in 1959.

What was the plan of the naval Confederate Secretary Mallory to overcome the number of warships of the Union?

Secretary Mallory believed the South could overcome the naval superiority of the Union by developing warship technologies that were for the most part new and advanced compared to the Union's technology at that point in time. Mallory wanted to build war vessels capable of traveling along the Southern coasts and even Northern ones, to reduce the Union's blockading measures. He believed the way to proceed was to buy or build ironclads. The Confederate Congress agreed with Mallory and set aside $3 Million for warship construction or purchase.
