[Commander Klank]

What do you mean by superstructure? They were all open decked. The biggest difference in them being mast arrangements and various light cannons supplementing the huge trade mark pivot 11 inch smoothbore cannon mounted in the center of the ship after the first few were built.

A mocked up Union ironclad

Quote "The Black Terror was unleashed upriver from Vicksburg to float leisurely past the Confederate batteries, which unleashed all they had on it, but did no apparent damage. Downriver from Vicksburg, The Black Terror was spotted by the Queen of the West, a Union warship captured by the Confederates and now in CSN possession and use. She quickly retreated farther downriver and warned the Indianola, which was being salvaged and repaired. The Queen of the West retreated up the Red River, never to return to the Mississippi. Upon appearance of The Black Terror, the Indianola was destroyed by her crew. At a cost of $8.64, the Indianola was destroyed, the Queen of the West never returned to the Mississippi, and no lives were lost. With no armaments, no propulsion, and no crew, "The Black Terror" earned a battle record worthy of any U.S. warship."

"North South Naval Images" by Atteridge is a book with 50 ACW ship plans.

I would quite like a copy (at a reasonable price).
Anyone have a copy??

The PP one has some form of a structure around the funnel area ? Also the Bridge as such seems to be part of it ?
Where can we in Britain get information related to the layouts of these ships please ?
