Synopsis
An account of the launching of the U.S. Navy's first "ironclad" ship, designed to help enforce the blockade of Southern ports during the Civil War. Although the Monitor engaged in only one battle--against the Merrimack, the Confederate Navy's ironclad--its revolutionary design marked the beginning of a new stage of naval history.
