This is a paper that I wrote for AMH6939 Civil War and Reconstruction
under Dr. Steve Engle. It deals chiefly with the changes in
ship design and naval tactics brought about by the advent of John Ericsson's
Monitor,
the Virginia, and their decendants.

Between the Monitor and the Virginia page. The picture was downloaded
from that site, but the last time I checked, the link didn't work.
Maybe the page will return.
