How retained officers made the Union blockade possible

Is there a good book on how senior US Navy officers remaining loyal to the Union affected the Civil War's outcome?

No single dedicated study was identified, but retained command, navigation, and engineering experience was essential to organizing the blockade.

The Union could recruit merchant captains for converted commercial craft, but a wartime fleet also needed officers experienced in warship handling, squadron command, navigation, and steam engineering. Retaining this professional core allowed the Navy to expand without losing the expertise required to coordinate large blockading forces. Accounts centered on armies and battlefield commanders often give this institutional advantage less attention. No single book devoted specifically to measuring the effect was identified.
