Tensions increase as the North and the South simultaneously build Ironclad ships.

Tensions increase as the North and the South simultaneously build Ironclad ships: the U.S.S. Monitor and the C.S.S. Virginia. The stakes were high and the whole world was watching as the two ships pounded each other for four hours at close range off the coast of Virginia, and naval warfare was changed forever.
