The Greatest Tie in all of History

C.S.S. Virginia (formerly the U.S.S. Merrimack) Arms: Full complement (12 guns each side), one pokey thingy. Armor: 4in iron plating, 8ft. Solid oak plank. Maneuverability: Are you kidding? It was a frigate!

U.S.S. Monitor (cute ain’t it?) Arms: 2 guns on a turret. (Brilliant!) Armor: 6in Iron (warm ’n’ cozy floatin’ boiler) Maneuverability: Not too bad. Did circles ‘round Virginia. Don’t take it to the sea though.

What part of “not at sea” didn’t you understand?

At Sea

Not at sea. Get the point?

This was under the nomenclature: CSS Virginia ( ), ex-USS Merrimack -- Grossly Inaccurate Views of and on board the Ship Isn’t that nice?

The Mighty U.S.S. Cumberland sinking slowly to death. On fire. Oops.

Ouch! Toothy Pokey Thingy. Bye-bye Cumberly!

That’s a-ah spicy a-flag-ah ship. (U.S.S. Congress)

That was a nice rest for the night. I think I’ll finish your flag- ship off now. Mr. Naval Power. Blockade this.

Sir! A piece of wreckage appears to be firing on us!

I wish someone had invented armor-piercing rounds as they were inventing the rather obvious ideal of armor-plating.

Got Cannon-shot?

At this point the Monitor simply has to fire twice in the same spot to pierce the Virginia’s armor. But it’s out of ammo. The Virginia simply has to angle itself to be able to fire upon the Monitor. But it can’t move as it is out of steam. Score North Iron Clad-0.5 South Iron Clad-0.5 Tie game Isn’t that cute. The ships in the background think they matter.
