E. M. Sanchez-Saavedra's chapter on the Virginia navy in his *Guide to
Virginia Military Organizations in the American Revolution* (LVA, 1978)
lists vessels and officers.

Mike occasionally mentioned numbers of sailors (depending on what kind of
information he found in the huge range of LVA archival collections cited at
p 207 n 6),
though he seems to have had more consistent figures for the crews on about
65 cruisers and privateers (pp 163-172) of about 100 that were issued
letters of marque.
