Not at all sure that he meets WP:GNG.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:10, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Stodder was an officer who served aboard the USS Monitor. He was present during every battle and episode of her history. He is quoted at least four times (i.e.Launching, turret event, towline cutting, Monitor and tourists) by reliable sources and is covered right along side Worden, Bankhead, Stimers and others. He is also mentioned in several books that are not about the Monitor specifically. Stodder played a fundamental role during the final voyage, risking, almost losing, his life out on the freeboard chopping away at the tow line during a violent storm. In the final hour before Monitor's sinking he made several attempts to go below checking on any remaining crew members. The man is a hero.

Books not about the Monitor specifically that mention Stodder:

• The Battle of Hampton Roads: Holzer, 2006, p.13 : Stodder: "I was flung by the concussion clean over the guns to the floor of the turret."

• Thunder at Hampton Roads, Hoehling, 1993, p.186 : While positioned at Harrison's Landing Stodder later wrote, "It was hell, being 170 degrees in the fireroom, and on the berth deck it was 95 degrees.",

• The Life of John Ericsson, Church, 1911, pp.279, 280 : Master Stodder having been one of the stunned men.

• A History of Ironclads: The Power of Iron Over Wood, Quarstein, p.255 : "When we came up top clean that night there was not a key, doorknob, escutheon -- there wasn't a thing that hadn't been carried away."
