The Day Naval Warfare Changed
Wired Magazine presents us with this tidbit of history:
“1862: Civil War ironclads stage the first sea battle in naval history between armor-plated vessels.”
Being both a Southerner and a Naval history buff, I found this fascinating. This battle helped shape the course of future naval warfare.
