	Confederate States Navy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Confederate States Navy (CSN) was the naval branch of the Confederate States armed forces established by an act of the Confederate Congress on February 21, 1861 responsible for Confederate naval operations during the American Civil War.
		The initial goal of the Confederate Navy was to establish superiority to, or at least achieve equality with, the Union Navy.
		On May 6, the Confederate Congress passed "An act recognizing the existence of war between the United States and the Confederate States, and concerning letters of marque, prizes, and prize goods." And on May 14, 1861 "An act regulating the sale of prizes and the distribution thereof," was also passed.
