Have recently been reading a bit on the USN during the age of sail. It seems to me as if the ship's Captains had quite a bit a leeway pertaining to their vessel's armament during the Revolution and 1812.
Did this continue into the ACW? Did Captains have a great deal of say with regards to their on-board equipment or was the USN beginning to standardize what types of weapons went on what type of ships?
Thanks for the help,
