What's your favorite Civil War ironclad designs anons?Union...
...or ConfederatePersonally I go with northern ironclads. The turrets are really coolI also love the river ironclads of the Mississippi squadron
>>65085598>>65085602Union designs arguably had more influence but the Confederate designs had a lot of charm to them.
