This looks like a question that could be fun to spend time researching. It's good that everybody gets until Sunday night to do so.

Unfortunately, I may not have much chance to do so, since I'm going to be out of town and away from my computer starting tomorrow and possibly until next Tuesday or Wednesday. Just wanted to let everybody know, so you don't start wondering why I'm not grading answers or posting scores.

10) Commodore Henry Thatcher

"(T)he USS Constellation was built in 1854 and is the last all-sail warship built by the US Navy."
http://www.southbaltimore.com/InnerHarbor/Constellation/index.html

"On 11 March 1862 Constellation sailed from Portsmouth under the command of Commodore Henry K. Thatcher. Arriving on 19 April, Constellation spent two years (April 1862 to May 1864) engaged in patrolling, at one point assisting in blockading the Confederate warship Sumter, abandoned by her captain and officers except for a token, caretaker crew, at Gibraltar, and later participating in the attempt to prevent the Confederate Navy from taking possession of the British-built steamer Southerner in Italy for use as a commerce raider."
