In about two weeks it will be the 152nd anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads. The CSS Virginia and USS Monitor fought it out for two days with no clear winner. It changed naval warfare forever.


This is my humble attempt to recreate that period in time.  :)

The South will rise again!.. Or something.

Nice topic yossam. But what a mess those years were. If anything like it happens again, I hope I am already long dead and forgotten.

QuoteOn March 8, 1862, from her berth at Norfolk, the Confederate ironclad Virginia steamed into Hampton Roads where she sank Cumberland and ran Congress aground. On March 9, the Union ironclad Monitor having fortuitously arrived to do battle, initiated the first engagement of ironclads in history.
It has been eaten.
