ACW IroncladDeveloped in the second half of the 19th century, the Ironclads were intended to negate the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive or incendiary shells. The resulting warships were steam-propelled and sported hulls protected by iron or steel armour plates. They were used extensively by both the Union and Confederate navies in the American Civil War, In an epic clash of iron and steam, two ironclads changed the course of Naval warfare. It was March 9, 1862 off Hampton Roads, Virginia. In a 4 hour long clash The U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia slugged it out but neither could penetrate the others armour.
