He took part in the Mexican War, followed by sea service aboard the GERMANTOWN, and duty as an instructor in navigation at the U.S. Naval Academy. After the outbreak of Civil War, Waddell resigned his commission as Lieutenant, U.S. Navy. Waddell entered the Confederate service and was appointed a Lieutenant in the Confederate States Navy in 1862. After performing various duties, Waddell sailed in March 1863 for France to take command of the merchant steamer, Sea King, purchased by Confederate agents. The ship was fitted out as a ship-of-war and renamed CSS SHENANDOAH. Under orders to concentrate on the previously unmolested New England fishing fleet in the Pacific, he proceeded to Melbourne, Australia putting to the torch five prizes along the way. While undergoing repairs in Mel- bourne. Waddell made a brief and successful court defense against a charge of alleged recruiting of neutrals. His radiant friendliness and noble bearing were very helpful in obtaining volunteers and so, when SHENANDOAH was safely out to sea in February 1865, forty-two welcome ‘'stowaways appeared on the deck. In August 1865, upon hearing of the collapse of the Confederacy, Waddell disregarded advice to beach his ship or sail her to some British colonial port where each of his men could shift for themselves. Instead he sailed his ship from a position one thousand miles west of Acapulco. Mexico to Liverpool, England, and surrendered his ship to the British authorities for turnover to the U.S. Government. His outstanding courage, confidence, and magnificent seamanship had taken SHENANDOAH seventeen thousand miles in twelve months and seventeen days, and taken thirty-eight prizes. Waddell died in Annapolis, Maryland on March 15, 1886. 8 C ) LU : 0_ LU DC c vNER 25 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE THE WARSHIP USS WADDELL (DDG 24) and C°'po,a on in SM,,le' Washington.

CRUISE WaDD IX _‘i v� G-X4 19 u After 171 long days of separation, the USS WADDELL pulled into her homeport on the morning of March 2, 1989. As the crew manned the rail to enter the harbor, boats and banners welcomed us and pointed the final way home — but more important than the signs were the loved ones waiting at the head of Pier 5. It was a joyous time, a time for hugging and kissing and for finally just being together again! HOMECOMING . . . 0948 - March 2, 1989 On your marks ... get set...
