but the u.s. navy in the u.s. military knows what the confederacy is up to so there like we should have our own ironclad. so she will create a kind of a commission to come up with the various design ironclad and design one of the most famous and that is the monitor. so the battle will unfold over two days, there's a two day battle. and they had the confederate ironclad in virginia and it is good command of buchanan and i keep using the word she, because 19th century, that's what they did and so, buchanan is in control of virginia so this as vessel and going to. [inaudible]. in room 10:00 p.m. she runs right into the u.s. cumberland, this was a 1600-pound ironclad and this is a giant hole in her hall because of the slamming grade in next, another u.s. ship, the uss, and they said this was a bad idea and this ironclad vessel. and they are pending in congress, until eventually the u.s. vessels of day one, march 8th, ironclad wooden ship and would destroy all of the wooden u.s. ships read but it's different on march 9

so there is that, the u.s. navy confederacy will try to create one as well we are talking about naval access to the work and i want you to remember that happened across the globe so the u.s. and the confederacy are actually in a fine art five different oceans, and dozens of rivers rated in and fulfilling it with the anaconda plan.
