Ironclad ship battle

[Bill Richter]

The Union built several classes of "Monitors" during the war with improvements over he original including multiple turrets. For those who are interested, see, e.g., Tony Gibbons, Warships and Naval Battles of the US Civil War (1989) which is profusely illustrated. Pages 160-175 have a list of all warships in the Union and Confederate Navies.

I realize that this is unfair to a German participant in this forum, but since the book was published in Gt Britain it might be available in a larger university library. Another writer on Civil War navies is William Still, but he is more interested in tactics and how the fleets were employed.
