Andrew Hull Foote (September 12, 1806 – June 26, 1863) was an American naval officer who was noted for his service in the Civil War and also for his contributions to several naval reforms in the years prior to the war. When the war came, he was appointed to command of the Western Gunboat Flotilla, predecessor of the Mississippi River Squadron. In that position, he led the gunboats in the Battle of Fort Henry. For his services with the Western Gunboat Flotilla, Foote was among the first naval officers to be promoted to the then-new rank of rear admiral. In 1863, on his way to take command of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, he suddenly died, struck down by kidney disease. He was interred at Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven.    [jet] [ph:L]
