The Battle of Hampton Roads

The battle of hampton roads will forever change naval warfare. Wooden ship versus ironclad or armored vessel is an epic duel between two iron clads. We know that iron clads can win pretty much every single time. But ironclad versus ironclad, it's anybody's game. That's what we saw on march ninth. So now the us. Is going to commit itself to iron clad technology. The confederacy is going tooi commit itself to more iron clad ships. And then the us. Enters into what we like to call monitor mania, which basely just means they are going to want to build more and moreiron clad ships.
