Can't really say if that date is wrong or not. Just thought that I should share that website, based on the topic. I have no independant verification of that date, one way or the other. I have been more interested in Hunter's lineage than exactly "what he did when" (though being in the Merrimac/Monitor battle is certainly interesting). I guess a more thorough investigation is needed to determine if that website definitely has it "all wrong" or not. Anyone else have any facts on this?
