Franklin Buchanan (September 17, 1800 – May 11, 1874) was an officer in the United States Navy who became the only full admiral in the Confederate Navy during the American Civil War, and commanded the ironclad CSS ''Virginia''.
==Early life==
Buchanan was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He was the fifth child and third son of a physician, George Buchanan and Laetitia McKean Buchanan.〔Quarstein, "Franklin Buchanan"〕 The Buchanan side of his family arrived in the United States from Scotland. He became a midshipman in 1815, was promoted to lieutenant in 1825, commander in 1841 and captain in 1855.〔
During the 45 years he served in the U.S. Navy, Buchanan had extensive and worldwide sea duty. He commanded the sloops of war and during the 1840s and the steam frigate in the Perry Expedition to Japan during from 1852-1854.〔
From 1845–1847, he served as the first Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy, followed by notable Mexican-American War service. From 1859–1861, Captain Buchanan was the Commandant of the Washington Navy Yard. With the Civil War looming, he resigned his commission, expecting Maryland to eventually secede. When that didn't happen, he tried to recall his resignation, but Navy Secretary Gideon Welles said he didn't want half-hearted patriots in his navy and refused to reinstate him.〔
