USS Monitor edi temirdan yasalgan harbiy kema uchun qurilgan Union Navy davomida Amerika fuqarolar urushi. 1862 yil boshida qurib bitkazilgan, u dengiz floti tomonidan topshirilgan birinchi shunday kema edi.^[a] Monitor da markaziy rol o'ynagan Xempton yo'llari jangi leytenant qo'mondonligi ostida 9 mart kuni Jon L. Worden, u bilan kurashdi kazemat temir CSSVirjiniya (ning korpusida qurilgan chayqalib bug 'fregati USSMerrimack ) to'xtab qolish. Kema o'ziga xos dizayni bilan ajralib turadi burilish minorasi Amerika ixtirochisi tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan Teodor Timbi, tezda ko'paytirildi va o'rnatildi monitor klassi va turi kelgusi bir necha o'n yillikda Amerika dengiz kuchlari uchun qurilgan zirhli harbiy kemalar.

Kema qoldig'i shvedda tug'ilgan muhandis va ixtirochi tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan Jon Ericsson va shoshilib qurilgan Bruklin, Nyu York ustida Sharqiy daryo 1861 yil oxiridan atigi 101 kun ichida boshlanadi. Monitor kema dizaynidagi yangi kontseptsiyani taqdim etdi va dunyoda e'tiborni tortadigan kema qurilishida turli xil ixtiro va yangiliklarni qo'lladi. Qurilish uchun turtki Monitor nomi bilan Konfederatlar temir bilan qoplangan zirhli kemani qurayotgani haqidagi xabar turtki berdi Virjiniya, da eski Federal dengiz kemasozligida Gosport, yaqin Norfolk, bu Ittifoq kemalarini blokirovka qilishni samarali ravishda jalb qilishi mumkin Xempton yo'llari port va Jeyms daryosi shimoli-g'arbga olib boradi Richmond (Konfederatsiya poytaxti), va oxir-oqibat oldinga siljiydi Vashington, Kolumbiya yuqoriga Potomak daryosi va boshqa dengiz qirg'oqlari shaharlari, deyarli raqobatsiz. Oldin Monitor Xempton-Yo'lga etib borishi mumkin edi, Konfederatsiya temir yo'ldoshi allaqachon suzib ketishni yo'q qilgan edi fregatlar USSCumberland va USSKongress va bug 'fregatini boshqargan USSMinnesota quruqlikda. O'sha kecha Monitor keldi va ertasi kuni ertalab xuddi shunday Virjiniya tugatish uchun o'rnatildi Minnesota va Avliyo Lourens Ikkinchi kuni, yangi Ittifoq temir temirlari Konfederatsiya kemasiga duch kelib, uni yog'och uyushma kemalarida yana halokatga yo'l qo'ymasliklariga to'sqinlik qildi. To'rt soatlik jang boshlandi, ikkala kema ham bir-birlarini yaqin masofadan turib o'q otish bilan urishdi, garchi hech bir kema boshqasini yo'q qila olmaydi yoki jiddiy zarar etkaza olmaydi. Bu zirhli harbiy kemalar o'rtasidagi birinchi jang edi va dengiz urushida burilish nuqtasi bo'ldi.

Konfederatlar qirib tashlashga majbur bo'lgandan keyin Virjiniya ular 1862 yil may oyining boshida Norfolk va uning dengiz kemasozligidan chiqib ketishganda, Monitor paytida Ittifoq armiyasini qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun Jeyms daryosiga suzib ketdi Yarim orol kampaniyasi Bosh Boshliq ostida Jorj B. Makklelan. Kema ishtirok etdi Dryuining Bluff jangi o'sha oyning oxirida va general Makklelanning qo'shinlariga qo'shilishga buyruq berilgunga qadar quruqlikdagi kuchlarini qo'llab-quvvatlovchi hududda qoldi Union Navy blokadalari dekabr oyida Shimoliy Karolinadan. U erga ketayotganda u asos solgan tortishish paytida, bo'ron paytida Hatteras burni yilning so'nggi kunida. Monitor'halokat 1973 yilda topilgan va qisman topilgan qutqarilgan. Uning qurollari, qurol minorasi, dvigatel va boshqa yodgorliklar namoyish etiladi Dengizchilar muzeyi yilda Newport News, Virjiniya, eng muhim harbiy harakatlar joyidan bir necha milya uzoqlikda joylashgan.

Kontseptsiya

Zirh bilan himoyalangan kemalar tushunchasi temir panjara paydo bo'lishidan oldin mavjud bo'lgan Monitor,^[3] kemada temir qoplamaga ehtiyoj faqat portlovchi moddadan keyin paydo bo'ldi qobiq - olov Payxhans qurol 1820-yillarda dengiz urushiga kiritilgan. Harbiy kemalarning yon tomonlarida og'ir temir qoplamani ishlatish bug 'qo'zg'alishi katta og'irlikni ko'tarish uchun etuk bo'lguncha amaliy bo'lmagan. Qurol-yarog 'texnologiyasining rivojlanishi 1840-yillarda rivojlanib borgan, shuning uchun yog'ochning amaliy qalinligi qobiq kuchiga bardosh bera olmaydi.^[4] Bunga javoban Amerika Qo'shma Shtatlari 1854 yilda bug 'bilan ishlaydigan temir temirli harbiy kemani qurishni boshladi, Stivens akkumulyatori,^[5] ammo ish kechiktirildi va dizayner, Robert Stivens, 1856 yilda vafot etdi va keyingi ishlarni to'xtatdi. O'sha paytda bunday kemaga jiddiy ehtiyoj bo'lmaganligi sababli, tugallanmagan kemada ishlashni davom ettirish uchun juda kam talab mavjud edi.^[6] Aynan Frantsiya birinchi operatsion zirhli kemalarni, shuningdek birinchi snaryad qurollari va miltiq to'plarini taqdim etdi.^[7] Davomida tajriba Qrim urushi 1854–1855 yillarda frantsuz temirko'zlari zirhli kemalar takrorlanadigan zarbalarga katta zarar etkazmasdan bardosh bera olishlarini ko'rsatdi suzuvchi batareyalar davomida Rossiya qirg'oq mustamlakalarini mag'lub etdi Kinbern jangi. Ericsson frantsuzlarni yuborganini da'vo qildi Imperator Napoleon III 1854 yil sentyabr oyida avtomat turretli monitor tipidagi dizayn bo'yicha taklif, ammo Frantsiya dengiz floti vazirligi arxivida bunday topshiriq haqida yozuv topilmadi (Dengiz vazirlari ) ular dengiz tarixchisi tomonidan qidirilganda Jeyms Finni Baxter III.^[8] Frantsuzlar o'sha kemalarga birinchi okean temir temirlari bilan ergashishdi zirhli frekat Gloir 1859 yilda va inglizlar bunga javob berishdi HMSJangchi.^[5]

The Union Navy Konfederatlar qo'lga olinganlarni konvertatsiya qilishayotganini bilganlarida temirchilarga bo'lgan munosabat tezda o'zgardi USSMerrimack Virjiniya shtatidagi Norfolk shahridagi dengiz kemasozlik zavodidagi temir krepkaga. Keyinchalik, dolzarbligi Monitor'Xempton-Yo'lga qurib bitkazilishi va joylashtirilishi endi Konfederatsiya temir temirining nomi o'zgartirilganidan qo'rqishidan kelib chiqqan. Virjiniya, nafaqat Ittifoq kemalariga, balki qirg'oq bo'yidagi shaharlarga va daryo bo'ylarida ham qila oladi. Shimoliy gazetalarda Konfederatlarning konvertatsiya qilish borasidagi yutuqlari to'g'risida har kuni hisobotlar e'lon qilindi Merrimack temir karvonga; bu Ittifoq dengiz kuchlarini tugatishga va joylashtirishga undadi Monitor iloji boricha tez.^[9]

So'zi Merrimack's qayta qurish va konvertatsiya 1862 yil fevral oyining oxirida Shimolda tasdiqlangan Meri Louvestr Konfederatsiya muhandislaridan biri uchun uy bekasi bo'lib ishlagan, ozod qilingan qul Norfolkdan Merrimack,^[10] Konfederatlar temir yo'l bilan jangovar kemani qurayotgani haqidagi xabarlar bilan Konfederatsiyadan o'tib ketdi. Navy Yardda ishlagan birlashma xayrixohining birinchisi haqida ogohlantirganligi uning kiyimida yashiringan Merrimack, o'zgartirildi Virjiniya Konfederatlar tomonidan yakunlanish arafasida edi.^[11][b] Vashingtonga kelganida Louvestr bilan uchrashishga muvaffaq bo'ldi Dengiz kuchlari kotibi Gideon Uels va unga Konfederatlar temir panjarasini tugatish arafasida ekanligi haqida xabar berdi, bu Uellsni ajablantirdi. Louvestrening qo'lida bo'lgan qog'ozlarga ishonib, u qo'lida bo'lgan narsalar bor edi Monitor tezlashdi. Keyinchalik Uelles o'z xotiralarida "Louvestr xonim ushbu ma'lumotni olib kelish uchun hech qanday kichik xavfga duch kelmagan ..." deb yozgan.^[13][14]

Tasdiqlash

Jon Ericsson, USS Monitor dizayneri

Qo'shma Shtatlar qurilish to'g'risida xabar olganidan keyin Virjiniya, Kongress bir yoki bir nechta zirhli paroxodlarni qurish uchun 1861 yil 3-avgustda 1,5 million dollar ajratdi. Shuningdek, zirhli kemalar uchun taklif qilingan turli xil dizaynlarni o'rganish uchun taxta yaratishga buyruq berdi. Union Dengiz kuchlari 7 avgust kuni "temir bilan qoplangan bug 'kemalari" uchun takliflar e'lon qildi va Uelles uchta yuqori lavozimli ofitserni tayinladi Ironclad kengashi ertasi kuni. Ularning vazifasi "temir bilan qoplangan kemalarni tugatish rejalarini o'rganish" va uning xarajatlarini hisobga olish edi.^[15][c]

Dastlab Ericsson kengashga bo'ysunmagan, ammo qachon ishtirok etgan Kornelius Bushnell, zirhli bo'lib qolgan taklif homiysi bema'ni USSGalena, uning dizayni a tomonidan ko'rib chiqilishi kerak edi dengiz konstruktori. Kengash Bushnelldan uning kemasi zirhlari og'irligiga qaramay suzib yurishiga kafolat talab qildi^[16] va Kornelius H. DeLamater Nyu-York shahridan Bushnellga do'sti Ericsson bilan maslahatlashishni tavsiya qildi.^[17] Ikkalasi birinchi bo'lib 9 sentyabrda uchrashdi va ertasi kuni, Ericsson baholashga ulgurganidan keyin Galena's dizayni. Ushbu ikkinchi uchrashuv paytida Ericsson Bushnellga o'zining dizayni, kelajagi modelini namoyish etdi Monitor, uning 1854 yilgi dizaynidan kelib chiqqan. Bushnell modelni Uelsga namoyish qilish uchun Ericssondan ruxsat oldi, u Bushnellga doskaga ko'rsatishni buyurdi.^[18] Ericssonning g'ayrioddiy dizayni ko'rib chiqilgach, boshqaruv kengashi shubhali bo'lib, bunday kema, ayniqsa qo'pol dengizlarda suzib ketmasligidan xavotirda edi va butunlay temir yuklangan kemaning taklifini rad etdi. Prezident Linkoln, shuningdek, dizaynni ko'rib chiqqan, ularni bekor qildi. Ericsson bortida uning kemasi suzib ketishiga ishontirdi: "Dengiz uning ustiga o'tiradi va u o'rdakdek yashaydi".^[19] 15 sentyabrda, qo'shimcha muhokamalardan so'ng, kengash Ericssonning taklifini qabul qildi.^[18] Ironclad kengashi 17 xil dizaynni baholadi, ammo 16 sentyabrda faqat uchtasini sotib olishni tavsiya qildi, shu jumladan Ericsson's Monitor dizayn.^[20]

Tanlangan temir temirli uchta kema dizayni va xavf darajasi jihatidan bir-biridan farq qilar edi. Monitor pastligi tufayli eng innovatsion dizayn edi bepul taxta, sayoz- qoralama temir korpus va bug 'quvvatiga to'liq bog'liqlik. Dizaynining eng xavfli elementi uning aylanishi edi qurol minorasi, ilgari biron bir dengiz floti tomonidan sinovdan o'tkazilmagan narsa.^[d] Ericssonning 100 kun ichida etkazib berish kafolati, uning tavakkaliga qaramay, uning dizaynini tanlashda hal qiluvchi rol o'ynadi.^[22]

Dizayn va tavsif

USS modeli Monitor

USS ning ichki rejalari Monitor

Monitor deyarli har jihatdan g'ayrioddiy idish edi va ba'zida matbuot va boshqa tanqidchilar tomonidan kinoyali tarzda "Ericssonning ahmoqligi", "salda cheesebox" deb ta'riflangan^[23][24] va "Yanki pishloq qutisi".^[25] Kemadagi eng ko'zga ko'ringan xususiyat - bu katta silindrsimon qurol turreti o'rnatilgan sharoitlar past-erkin taxtaning ustki qismida korpus, shuningdek, "sal" deb nomlangan. An'anaviy shakldagi korpusning pastki tomoni yonidan o'tib ketdi. Kichkina zirhli uchuvchi uy kamon tomon yuqori qavatga o'rnatilgan edi, ammo uning holati oldini oldi Monitor qurollarini to'g'ri oldinga otishdan.^[26][e] Ericssonning kemani loyihalashtirishdagi asosiy maqsadlaridan biri dushmanlarning o'q otishlariga imkon qadar eng kichik nishonni taqdim etish edi.^[27] Kema 179 fut (54,6 m) bo'lgan umuman olganda, bor edi nur 41 fut 6 dyuym (12,6 m) va maksimal tortishish 10 fut 6 dyuym (3,2 m) bo'lgan. Monitor tonna 776 edi tonna quritilgan va ko'chirilgan 987 tonna (1003 tonna). Uning ekipaji 49 zobit va harbiy xizmatga jalb qilingan odamlardan iborat edi.^[28]

Kema bitta silindrli gorizontal harakatga keltirildi tebranish qo'lli bug 'dvigateli,^[29] shuningdek, 9 metrlik (2,7 m) pervaneni boshqargan Ericsson tomonidan ishlab chiqilgan,^[27] uning milining diametri to'qqiz dyuym edi.^[30] Dvigatelda ikkita gorizontal hosil bo'lgan bug 'ishlatilgan o't o'chirish uchun mo'ljallangan qozonxonalar^[31] maksimal 40 bosimidapsi (276 kPa; 3 kgf / sm² ).^[32] 320-ot kuchi (240 kVt) dvigatel kemaga eng yuqori tezlikni 8 ga etkazish uchun mo'ljallangan edi tugunlar (15 km / soat; 9,2 milya), lekin Monitor xizmatida 1-2 tugun (1,9-3,7 km / soat; 1,2-2,3 milya) sekinroq edi.^[29] Dvigatelda a zerikarli 36 dyuym (914 mm) va a qon tomir 22 dyuym (559 mm).^[28] Kema 100 tonna (100 tonna) ko'mir tashiydi.^[29] Kema uchun shamollatish ikkitadan ta'minlandi markazdan qochiruvchi orqa tomonidagi puflagichlar, ularning har biri 6 ot kuchiga ega (4,5 kVt) bug 'dvigateli bilan jihozlangan. Bir fan butun kema bo'ylab havo aylantiradi, ikkinchisi esa bu majburiy tortilishga bog'liq bo'lgan qozonxonalar orqali havo o'tkazadi. Teri kamarlar shamollatgichlarni dvigatellari bilan bog'lab turar edi va ular namlanganda cho'zilib, ko'pincha fanatlar va qozonlarni ishdan chiqardi. Kema nasoslari bug 'bilan ishlagan va nasoslar ishlash uchun etarli bug' ololmasa, kemada suv to'planib qoladi.^[27]

Minora orqali ko'ndalang korpus qismi

Monitor'diametri 20 fut (6,1 m) va balandligi 9 fut (2,7 m) bo'lgan, 8 dyuymli (20 sm) zirh bilan (qurol portlarida old tomondan 11 dyuym) qurilgan turret umumiy kemani biroz og'irlashtirmoqda. Uning yumaloq shakli to'p otishni o'rganishga yordam berdi.^[33][34] Bug 'bilan ishlaydigan bir juftlik eshak dvigatellari minorani bir qator tishli qutilar orqali aylantirdi; to'liq aylanish 18,5-yil 9-fevraldagi sinov paytida 22,5 soniyada amalga oshirildi.^[35] Qasrni nozik boshqarish qiyin bo'lgan; bug 'dvigatellari teskari tomonga joylashtirilishi kerak, agar minorasi o'z belgisini oshirib yuborsa yoki boshqa to'liq aylanish kerak bo'lsa. Minora orqali ko'rishning yagona usuli bu edi qurol portlari; qurol ishlatilmaganda yoki jang paytida qayta to'ldirish uchun olib qo'yilganda, og'ir temir port to'xtatuvchilari qurol pasportlarini yopish uchun pastga tushar edilar.^[36] Qurollarni o'z ichiga olgan holda, minoraning vazni taxminan 160 uzun tonnani (163 t) tashkil etdi; butun og'irlik minoraning burilishidan oldin takoz yordamida tortilishi kerak bo'lgan temir shpindelga suyanib turardi.^[37] Milning diametri 9 dyuym (23 sm) edi, bu esa minoraning yon tomonga siljishini oldini olish uchun zarur bo'lgan o'n baravar kuchni berdi.^[38] Ishlatilmaganda, turret suv o'tkazmaydigan muhr hosil qilish uchun mo'ljallangan peshtaxtadagi guruch uzukka suyangan. Xizmatda, ammo, shunga qaramay, bu juda ko'p sızdı pishirish ekipaj tomonidan.^[37] Qasr va plyonka orasidagi bo'shliq muammo bo'lib chiqdi, chunki qoldiqlar va qobiq parchalari bo'shliqqa kirib, bir nechta minoralarni yopib qo'ydi. Passaik- sinf monitorlar davomida, xuddi shu turret dizaynidan foydalanilgan Charleston Makoni birinchi jangi 1863 yil aprelda.^[39] Qattiq tortishish bilan minoraga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri zarbalar shpindelni burish qobiliyatiga ega edi, bu ham minorani siqib qo'yishi mumkin edi.^[40] Minora minorasiga kirish uchun yoki jang paytida otib tashlangan kukunni ko'tarish uchun minoraga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri burilish kerak edi starboard minoraning pastki qismida kirish lyukini pastki qavatdagi teshik bilan birlashtirgan.^[41][42] Minora tomi engil tarzda qurilgan bo'lib, kema qurollarining har qanday almashinuvini osonlashtirish va shamollatishni yaxshilash uchun faqat tortish kuchi bilan tom plitalarini ushlab turishgan.^[43]

In minoraning kesilgan nusxasini yon ko'rinishi Dengizchilar muzeyi, faqat bitta 11 dyuymli (280 mm) Dahlgren qurol o'rnatilgan

Minora (380 mm) 15 dyuymli juftlikni o'rnatishga mo'ljallangan edi silliq teshik Dahlgren qurollari, lekin ular o'z vaqtida tayyor emas edilar va 11 dyuymli (280 mm) qurollar almashtirildi.^[37] Har bir qurol taxminan 16000 funtni (7300 kg) tashkil qildi. Monitor'qurollarda 1860 yildagi qurol-yarog 'tomonidan ishlab chiqarilgan "uzoq", "yaqin" va "oddiy" nishonlar uchun belgilangan 15 funt (6,8 kg) standart qo'zg'atuvchi zaryad ishlatilgan.^[44] Ular 136 funtlik (61,7 kg) dumaloq otishni o'rganish yoki + 15 ° balandlikda 3650 yard (3340 m) oralig'ida o'q uzishlari mumkin edi.^[45]

Zirhli maydonchaning yuqori qismi yuqoridan atigi 18 dyuym (460 mm) balandroq edi suv liniyasi. Ikki qatlam bilan himoyalangan ¹⁄₂-inch (13 mm) zarb qilingan temir zirh. "Sal" ning yon tomonlari qariyb 30 dyuym (762 mm) qarag'ay va eman bilan mustahkamlangan 1 dyuymli (25 mm) temir plitalarning uchdan besh qatlamigacha bo'lgan. Plitalardan uchtasi yon tomonning to'liq 60 dyuymli (1,524 mm) balandligini uzaytirdi, lekin ikkala ichki plitalar oxirigacha cho'zilmadi. Ericsson dastlab oltita 1 dyuymli plitalardan yoki uchta tashqi tomondan qo'llab-quvvatlanadigan bitta tashqi 4 dyuymli (100 mm) plastinkadan foydalanishni maqsad qilgan ³⁄₄-inch (19 mm) plitalar, lekin qalinroq plastinka siljish uchun juda ko'p vaqt kerak edi.^[46] Ikkala ichki plitalar bir-biriga bog'langan, tashqi plitalar esa ichki qismlarga mahkamlangan. To'qqizinchi plastinka, faqat ³⁄₄ dyuym (19 mm) qalinligi va 15 dyuym (381 mm) kengligi ustidan mahkamlangan ko't bo'g'imlari zirh ichki qatlamining. Shisha illyuminatorlar kemaning ichki qismi uchun tabiiy yorug'lik bilan ta'minlangan kemada; amalda ular temir plitalar bilan qoplangan edi.^[27]

Xempton-Yo'lda temirchilar o'rtasida bo'lib o'tgan dueldan so'ng, dengiz flotining ba'zi rasmiylari tomonidan jangga guvoh bo'lganlar xavotirga tushishdi. Monitor'Ushbu dizayn Konfederatlar tomonidan osonlikcha samolyotga chiqish imkoniyatini yaratishi mumkin. 1862 yil 27 apreldagi xatida komandir leytenant O.C. Badger Ordnance inspektorining yordamchisi leytenant X. A. Wise-ga xat yozib, "suyuq olov" dan foydalanishni, shlanglar va quvurlar orqali qozonxonadan suvni kuydirishni, shamollatish teshiklari va uchuvchilar uyining derazasi orqali sepib, dushman samolyotlarini qaytarib berishni maslahat berdi.^[47] Kemada bo'lgan va tekshirilgan dono Monitor jangdan keyin 1862 yil 30 aprelda yozilgan maktubda shunday javob berilgan: "Monitorga murojaat qilib, jangdan so'ng uning bortiga sakrab tushganimda, yigirma kishilik bug 'tortmasi uning yuqori qismini shuncha kishining qo'lidan olishi mumkin edi. soniya ... Eshitishimcha, issiq suv quvurlari bosqinchilar unga oyoq bosishga jur'at etishi mumkin bo'lgan paytda ularni kuydiradigan qilib joylashtirilgan. "^[48] Bunday taktikani qo'llash imkoniyati hech qachon paydo bo'lmagan. Bunday xodimlarga qarshi ko'rsatma o'rnatilganligi to'g'risida qarama-qarshi hisobotlar mavjud.^[49][50]

Qurilish

USSni ishga tushirish Monitor, 1862

Commodore Jozef Smit, Boshlig'i Hovli va doklar byurosi, 1861 yil 21 sentyabrda Ericssonga uning taklifini qabul qilish to'g'risida rasmiy xabar yubordi. Olti kundan keyin Ericsson Bushnell bilan shartnoma imzoladi, John F. Winslow va Jon A. Grisvold unda to'rtta sherik temir panjara qurilishi natijasida olinadigan foyda yoki zararga teng ravishda ulush qo'shishi aytilgan. Hukumat bilan haqiqiy shartnoma imzolanishi bilan bog'liq bir katta kechikish bo'ldi.^[51] Uelles shunday deb turib oldi Monitor "to'liq muvaffaqiyat" ekanligini isbotlamadi, quruvchilar har tsentni hukumatga qaytarishlari kerak edi.^[52] Vinslou ushbu keskin qoidadan hayajonlanib, Dengiz kuchlari shartnomani o'zgartirish urinishlarini rad etganidan keyin sheriklari uni imzo chekishga majbur qilishdi. Nihoyat, shartnoma 4-oktabr kuni 275000 AQSh dollari miqdorida imzolandi^[53] ish tugashi bilan qismlarga bo'lib to'lash kerak.^[54]

Dastlabki ishlar ushbu sanadan ancha oldin boshlangan edi, ammo Ericsson konsortsiumi bilan shartnoma tuzdi Tomas F. Roulend ning Kontinental temir ishlari da Bushvik kirish joyi (hozirgi kunda Bruklin, Grinpoint ) 25 oktyabrda qurilish uchun Monitor's korpus. U keel o'sha kuni yotqizilgan. Minora qurilgan va yig'ilgan Yangilik temir ishlari yilda Manxetten, qismlarga ajratilgan va Bushvik-Inletga jo'natilgan.^[55] Kema bug 'dvigatellari va mexanizmlari qurilgan DeLamater temir ishlari, shuningdek, Manxettenda.^[56] Bosh muhandis Alban C. Stimers, bir vaqtlar kemada xizmat qilgan Merrimack,^[57][58] u qurilayotgan paytda kema boshlig'i etib tayinlangan.^[59] Hech qachon rasmiy ravishda ekipajga tayinlanmagan bo'lsa-da, u o'zining birinchi safari va jang paytida inspektor sifatida uning kemasida qoldi.^[58][60]

Qurilish mos keladigan va boshlang'ich bosqichda davom etdi, temirni etkazib berishda bir necha qisqa kechikishlar va vaqti-vaqti bilan naqd pul etishmasligi bilan qiynaldi, ammo ular kemaning rivojlanishini bir necha haftadan ko'proq kechiktirmadi. Uning qurilishi uchun ajratilgan yuz kun 12 yanvarda o'tdi, ammo dengiz floti konsortsiumni jazolamaslikni tanladi.^[61] "Monitor" nomi, ya'ni "gunohkorlarga nasihat va tuzatuvchi" ma'nosini anglatadi,^[53] 1862 yil 20 yanvarda Ericsson tomonidan taklif qilingan va dengiz floti kotibining yordamchisi tomonidan tasdiqlangan Gustavus Foks.^[62] Ericsson, u hech qachon suzmaydi deb o'ylagan barcha tanqidchilariga qarshi chiqib, kemaning tepasida turganda,^[63] Monitor edi ishga tushirildi 1862 yil 30-yanvarda tomoshabin olomonni, hatto kema to'g'ridan-to'g'ri tubiga cho'kib ketishiga garov tikganlarni xursand qilishdi,^[64] va foydalanishga topshirildi 25 fevralda.^[65]

Oldin ham Monitor foydalanishga topshirildi, u muvaffaqiyatsiz to'plamni ishga tushirdi dengiz sinovlari 19 fevralda. Asosiy dvigatel va ventilyator dvigatellaridan biri bilan ishlaydigan valf muammolari unga erishish imkoniyatini bermadi Bruklin dengiz floti hovlisi Bushvik-Inletdan va uni ertasi kuni u erda tortib olish kerak edi. Ushbu masalalar osongina hal qilindi va Monitor 26-fevral kuni Xempton-Rudsga suzib ketishni buyurdi, ammo o'q-dorilarni yuklash uchun uning ketishini bir kunga kechiktirishga to'g'ri keldi. 27 fevral kuni ertalab kema Sharqiy daryo Nyu-Yorkdan ketishga tayyorgarlik ko'rdi, ammo hamma o'zini tuta olmadi va o'zini dengiz flotining hovlisiga qaytarish kerak edi. Tekshiruvdan so'ng, boshqarish moslamasi rul noto'g'ri o'rnatilgan edi va Rowland rulni qayta o'rnatishni taklif qildi, u faqat bir kunga mo'ljallangan deb taxmin qildi. Biroq, Ericsson, qo'shimcha to'plamni qo'shib, rulni qayta ko'rib chiqishni afzal ko'rdi kasnaklar u ishonganidek, bu ozroq vaqt talab etadi. Uning modifikatsiyasi 4 mart kuni bo'lib o'tgan sinovlar paytida muvaffaqiyatli bo'ldi.^[64][66][67] Qurol-yarog 'sinovlari oldingi kunida muvaffaqiyatli o'tkazildi, garchi Stimers ikki marta falokatlarni keltirib chiqardi, chunki u qanday qilib orqaga chekinmoq mexanizm Ericsson-da ishlaydi arava 11 dyuymli qurol uchun. Otish paytida orqaga qaytarishni kamaytirish uchun ularni kuchaytirish o'rniga, u ularni bo'shatib qo'ydi, shunda ikkala qurol ham minoraning orqa tomoniga tegdi, xayriyatki, hech kimga zarar etkazmasdan yoki qurolga zarar etkazmasdan.^[68]

Ericssonning inqilobiy minorasi, garchi kamchiliklarsiz bo'lmasa-da, tez orada moslashtirilgan va butun dunyo bo'ylab dengiz kemalarida qo'llaniladigan qurolni o'rnatishda noyob kontseptsiya edi.^[69] Uning Monitor dizayn qirqdan ortiq patentlangan ixtirolarni qo'llagan va o'sha paytdagi boshqa dengiz harbiy kemalaridan butunlay farq qilgan.^[19][70] Chunki Monitor Shoshilinch ravishda zarur bo'lgan, shoshilinch ravishda qurilgan va deyarli darhol dengizga olib chiqilgan eksperimental hunarmand bo'lib, uning Xempton-Yo'lga birinchi safari paytida va u erdagi jang paytida bir qator muammolar topildi.^[71] Shunga qaramay Monitor hali ham e'tiroz bildirishga qodir edi Virjiniya va uning Ittifoqdagi qolgan kemalarni yanada yo'q qilishiga yo'l qo'ymaslik flotilla Xempton yo'llarini to'sib qo'yish.^[72]

Fuqarolar urushi davrining "avj olgan davrida" Ericsson ishlatilgan ixtirolari bilan boylik orttirishi mumkin edi Monitor, lekin buning o'rniga AQSh hukumatiga hamma narsasini berdi Monitor patent huquqlari, bu uning "ulug'vor Ittifoq ishiga qo'shgan hissasi" edi.^[73]

Ekipaj

1862 yilda qo'mondon Worden

Monitor'Ekipajning barchasi ko'ngillilar bo'lib, jami 49 nafar ofitser va harbiy xizmatga jalb qilingan. Kema uchun o'nta ofitser kerak edi: qo'mondon, ijro etuvchi ofitser, to'rtta muhandis, bitta tibbiyot xodimi, ikkita usta va maoshmeyster.^[74] Wordenga ekipajni tanlash, yig'ish va topshirishga ruxsat berilgunga qadar Monitor, kema tugatilishi kerak edi.^[75]Vaqtida asl zobitlar Monitor'foydalanishga topshirildi:

Ofitserlarning to'rttasi edi Safdorlar va jang paytida kemani boshqarish va qurol ishlatish uchun javobgardir, muhandislar esa o'zlari uchun sinf hisoblanar edi.^[75] Yilda Monitor's minorasi, Grin va Stodj boshqaruvi ostida ikkita 11 dyuymli Dahlgrensning yuklanishi va otilishi. Har bir qurol sakkiz kishidan iborat edi.^[76] Wordenning 1862 yil 27-yanvarda Uelsga bergan hisobotida, u 17 kishining va 2 ofitserning ekipajning bir-birlariga to'sqinlik qilmasdan ishlashiga imkon beradigan minoradagi maksimal son bo'lishiga ishonishini aytdi.^[77]

USS Monitor Kema Jeyms daryosida, Virjiniya shtati, 1862 yil 9-iyulda bo'lganida, uning zirhli qurolli minorasi tomonidan tushirilgan ofitserlar. AQSh dengiz kuchlari kutubxonasi ularni yuqori qator, chapdan o'ngga: muhandisning ikkinchi yordamchisi Albert B.

O'rta qator, chapdan o'ngga: Magistr vazifasini bajaruvchi Louis N. Stodder; Magistrning turmush o'rtog'i Jorj Frederikson; Vaqtinchalik ko'ngilli leytenant Uilyam Flay; Jarroh yordamchisi vazifasini bajaruvchi Daniel C. Logue; va leytenant Samuel Gren. Old tomondan, chapdan o'ngga pastki qismida o'tirgan: Uchinchi yordamchi muhandis Robinzon V. Xands va usta vazifasini bajaruvchi E.V. Gager.^[78] Xuddi shunday fotosuratda ham ko'rsatilgan Monitor ofitser muhandisning birinchi yordamchisi Isaak Nyuton^[79]

Monitor shuningdek, kichik ofitserlar kerak edi: ular orasida Wordenning jiyani Daniel Toffey ham bor edi. Uorden Toffini sardorning xizmatchisi sifatida tanlagan edi. Ikki qora tanli amerikaliklar ham ekipaj tarkibiga kiritilgan odamlar orasida edi.^[80]

Katta ofitserlar uchun yashash joylari sakkizta yaxshi jihozlangan kabinalardan iborat bo'lib, ularning har biri kichkina eman stoli va stul, moyli chiroq, javonlar va tortmalar va gilam bilan qoplangan poldan pol qoplamasi bilan ta'minlangan. Butun ekipajga uxlash uchun echki terisidan matlar berildi. Har bir yashash maydoni uchun yoritish yuqoridagi kemaning pastki qismida, jang paytida temir lyuk bilan yopilgan edi. Zobitlar xonasi zobitlar bo'sh vaqtlarida oz vaqt davomida ovqatlanishlari, uchrashuvlar o'tkazishlari yoki suhbatlashishlari mumkin bo'lgan kemaning pastki qismida joylashgan. U sharqona gilamcha, katta eman stoli va boshqa shu kabi buyumlar bilan yaxshi jihozlangan edi. Ericsson barcha ofitser jihozlarining xarajatlarini shaxsan o'zi to'lagan.^[81]

Xizmat

1862 yil 6 martda kema Nyu-Yorkka qarab yo'l oldi Monro Fort, Virjiniya, okean sayohatchilari tomonidan tortib olindi tortish Set Lou qurolli qayiqlar hamrohligida Currituck va Saxem.^[85] Uorden, minorali va korpus o'rtasidagi muhrga ishonmasdan va Ericssonning maslahatiga e'tibor bermay,^[86] oldingi holatga ko'tarilib, to'ldirilgan eman va bo'shliqda mato suzib chiqing.^[87] O'sha kecha ko'tarilgan dengizlar emanni yuvib tashladi va suv minoraning ostiga, shuningdek, orqali quyildi Havsepipe, har xil lyuklar, shamollatish quvurlari va ikkitasi huni, shunday qilib shamollatish va qozon ventilyatorlari uchun kamarlar bo'shashdi va tushib ketdi va qozonxonalardagi yong'inlar keyingi kun davomida deyarli o'chirildi; bu dvigatel xonasida toksik muhit yaratdi, bu dvigatel xonasi ekipajining aksariyatini ishdan bo'shatdi. Muhandisning birinchi yordamchisi Isaak Nyuton dvigatel xonasini tark etishni buyurdi va mehnatga layoqatli ekipaj azoblangan dvigatel xonasini toza havo ularni tiriltirishi mumkin bo'lgan minoraning tepasiga sudrab borishni buyurdi.^[86] Nyuton ham, Stimers ham puflagichlarni ishga tushirish uchun astoydil harakat qilishdi, ammo ular ham zararli bug'larga berilib, yuqoriga ko'tarilishdi.^[88] Bittasi o't o'chiruvchi fan qutisiga teshik ochib, suvni to'kib tashlagan va ventilyatorni qayta ishga tushirgan. O'sha kuni kechqurun, kema rulini boshqaruvchi g'ildirak arqonlari tiqilib qoldi va kema notekis dengizlarda harakatlanishini boshqarish deyarli imkonsiz bo'ldi. Monitor endi xavf ostida edi asos soluvchi, shuning uchun Worden signal berdi Set Lou yordam uchun va bor edi Monitor u qirg'oqqa yaqinroq bo'lgan tinch suvlarni tortib oldi, shu sababli u kechqurun dvigatellarini qayta yoqishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. U yumaloq Cape Charlz 8 mart kuni soat 15:00 atrofida va kirgan Chesapeake Bay, erishish Xempton yo'llari kechqurun soat 9:00 da, Xempton-Yo'l jangidagi birinchi kunlik jang yakunlangandan keyin.^[89]

Xempton yo'llari jangi

USS Monitor jalb qiluvchi CSSVirjiniya, 1862 yil 9 mart

1862 yil 8 martda, Virjiniya, buyrug'i bilan Qo'mondon Franklin Byukenen,^[90] Jeyms daryosini to'sib qo'ygan Ittifoq flotiliyasini jalb qilishga tayyor edi.^[g] Virjiniya tomonidan quvvatlandi Merrimack'AQSh dengiz kuchlari tomonidan qo'lga olinishidan oldin uni qoralagan asl dvigatellari. Kema bosh muhandisi X. Eshton Ramsay xizmat qilgan Merrimack Fuqarolar urushi boshlanishidan oldin va dvigatellarning ishonchsizligini bilar edi, lekin Byukenen xafagarchilik bilan oldinga intildi.^[92][h]

Sekin harakatlanuvchi Virjiniya yelkanli frekatlarni yo'q qilib, Virjiniya shtatidagi Xempton-Rudzdagi Union blokadasi eskadrilyasiga hujum qildi Cumberland va Kongress.^[men] Jang boshida bug 'fregati USSMinnesota shug'ullanmoqchi bo'lgan paytda quruqlikka yugurdi Virjiniyava butun urush davomida qolib ketdi. Virjiniyaammo, hujum qila olmadi Minnesota kunduzgi yorug'lik yo'qolguncha. O'sha kuni Buchenen oyog'idan qattiq jarohat oldi va buyruqdan ozod qilindi Keytsbi ap Rojer Jons.^[93]

Jangdan bir necha kun oldin Xempton-Rudzlarni e'tiborsiz qoldirgan Monro qal'asi va Vashington o'rtasida telegraf kabeli yotqizildi.^[94] Dastlabki jangdan so'ng og'ir vaziyat haqida zudlik bilan Vashingtonga xabar berildi. Ko'pchilik endi tashvishga tushdi Virjiniya dengizga chiqib, Nyu-York kabi shaharlarni bombardimon qilishni boshlar edi, boshqalari esa u ko'tarilishidan qo'rqardi Potomak daryosi va Vashingtonga hujum qilish.^[95] Prezident Linkoln o'rtasida favqulodda yig'ilishda, urush kotibi Edvin M. Stanton, Kotib Uelles va boshqa katta dengiz zobitlari haqida so'rovlar o'tkazildi Monitor'to'xtatish qobiliyati Virjiniya'kelgusida yo'q qilish istiqbollari. Temperant Stanton buni bilib olganida Monitor bor-yo'g'i ikkita qurol bor edi, u oldinga va orqaga qadam tashlab, yig'ilish a'zolari orasida xavotir va umidsizlikni yanada kuchaytirib, nafrat va g'azabini bildirdi. Admiral Dahlgren va boshqa ofitserlarning kafolatlari Virjiniya Vashingtonga samarali ravishda murojaat qilish uchun juda katta edi va bunga Monitor unga qarshi hech qanday tasalli bermadi. Keyingi muhokamalardan so'ng, Linkolnga amin bo'lishdi, ammo Stanton deyarli qo'rqinchli holatda qoldi va turli gubernatorlar va qirg'oqboshilariga xavf haqida ogohlantirgan telegrammalar yubordi.^[96][97] Keyinchalik, Stanton oltmishta kanalli qayiqlarni tosh va shag'al bilan to'ldirish va ularni Potomakka cho'ktirish rejasini ma'qulladi, ammo Uells so'nggi payt Linkolnni bunday reja faqatgina oldini olishiga ishontira oldi. Monitor va boshqa Union kemalari Vashingtonga etib borishmaydi va barjalarni faqat qachon va qachon cho'ktirish kerak Virjiniya Potomakka borishga muvaffaq bo'ldi.^[98]

Kechki soat 9:00 atrofida, Monitor nihoyat vayronagarchilikni aniqlash uchun voqea joyiga etib keldi Virjiniya allaqachon Ittifoq flotida ishlagan edi. Uorden Xempton-Rudsga etib borishi bilan birga langar tutishga buyurilgan USSRoanoke va kapitanga xabar bering Jon Marston bu erda Worden vaziyat bilan tanishtirildi va erni himoya qilish uchun qo'shimcha buyruqlar oldi Minnesota.^[99][100] Yarim tunda qorong'ilik ostida, Monitor jimgina bilan yonida va orqasida tortdi Minnesota va kutdi.^[101]

Dazmolchilarning duellari

Ertasi kuni ertalab soat 6:00 atrofida Virjiniya, hamrohligida Jeymstaun, Patrik Genri va Teaser, boshlandi Syuell nuqtasi tugatish Minnesota va qolgan blokadalar, ammo taxminan tuman ertalab soat 8:00 gacha bo'lgan kuchli tuman tufayli Xempton-Yo'lga suzib ketishni kechiktirdilar.^[102] Yilda Monitor Vren allaqachon uchuvchilar uyidagi stantsiyasida edi, Grin esa minoraga qo'mondonlik qilgan.^[103] Magistr vazifasini bajaruvchi Semyuel Xovard MinnesotaTurli xil chuqurliklari va sayoz joylari bilan Xempton Yo'llari bilan tanish bo'lgan kecha uchuvchi bo'lishga ixtiyoriy ravishda qabul qilingan va shu tariqa qabul qilingan, chorak usta Piter Uilyams jang davomida kemani boshqargan (keyinchalik Uilyams mukofotga sazovor bo'lgan "Shuhrat" medali ushbu harakat uchun).^[104][105] Uchuvchilar uyi va minorasi o'rtasida aloqa qilish uchun ishlatiladigan nutq naychasi harakatning boshida buzilib ketgan, shuning uchun Keeler va Toffey buyruqlarni Wordendan Gringa o'tkazishlari kerak edi.^[106][107] Sifatida Virjiniya yaqinlashdi, u o'q otishni boshladi Minnesota bir chaqirimdan ko'proq masofada, uning bir nechta chig'anoqlari kemaga urilib ketdi. Uzoqdan otishma eshitilgach, Gren Kelenni Worden buyurgan joyda iloji boricha tezroq o't ochish uchun ruxsat olish uchun Keelerni uchuvchilar uyiga yubordi,^[103][108] "Janob Gringa aytingki, men so'z bergunimcha, otib tashlamang, salqin va qasddan bo'ling, aniq nishonga oling va zarbani behuda sarflamang."^[108]

Monitor, ajablanib Virjiniya'orqasidan ekipaj paydo bo'ldi Minnesota va o'zini va er osti kemasi o'rtasida joylashib, Konfederatsiyaning temir panjarasini himoyasiz yog'och kemani yaqin masofadan jalb qilishiga to'sqinlik qildi. Ertalab soat 8: 45da Vorden otishni buyurdi, u erda Grin Konfederatsiya temir temirini zararsiz ravishda chetga surib qo'ygan ikkita temir panjalar o'rtasidagi jangni birinchi o'qlarini otdi. Jang paytida Monitor taxminan har sakkiz daqiqada bir marta qattiq zarba berdi Virjiniya faqat o'q otilgan qobiq.^[109] Dazmolchilar, odatda, yaqin masofada, taxminan to'rt soat davomida jang qilishdi, soat 12: 15da tugadi,^[110][j] bir necha metrdan yuzdan oshiqgacha. Ikkala kema ham doimiy ravishda harakatda bo'lib, aylana shaklini saqlab turardi. Sababli Virjiniya'kuchsiz dvigatellari, katta o'lchamlari va og'irligi va 6,7 ​​m uzunlikdagi qoralama, u sekin va manevr qilish qiyin edi, chunki u 180 graduslik burilishni yarim soat ichida bosib o'tdi.^[112]

Nishon paytida, Monitor's minorasi ishlamay boshladi, shu sababli burilish va ma'lum bir joyda to'xtash juda qiyin bo'lib qoldi, shuning uchun ekipaj minorani doimiy ravishda burishiga imkon berdi va qurollarini "uchib ketayotganida" o'q uzmoqda Virjiniya. Ko `p marotaba, Monitor minoraga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri zarba berib, ba'zi murvatlarni zo'ravonlik bilan qirqib tashlashga va atrofni rikoshet qilishga olib keldi. Ta'sirning kar eshitadigan ovozi ekipaj a'zolarining bir qismini hayratda qoldirdi, natijada burun va quloqdan qon ketdi.^[113][114] Biroq, hech bir kemaning cho'kishi yoki boshqasiga jiddiy zarar etkazishi mumkin emas edi. Bir vaqtning o'zida, Virjiniya qo'chqor qilmoqchi bo'ldi, lekin faqat urdi Monitor bir qarashda zarba va hech qanday zarar ko'rmadi. Biroq to'qnashuv zararni yanada og'irlashtirdi Virjiniya'u ilgari rammed bo'lganidan s ta'zim Cumberland. Monitor ham jiddiy zarar etkaza olmadi Virjiniya, ehtimol, qo'mondonning maslahati bilan uning qurollari tushirilgan ayblovlar bilan o'q uzayotgani uchun Jon Dalgren, qurolning konstruktori, har xil qalinlik va konfiguratsiyalardagi "temir plitalarni teshish, joyidan chiqarish yoki joyidan chiqarish" uchun qancha zaryad kerakligini aniqlash uchun zarur bo'lgan "dastlabki ma'lumotlar" yo'q edi.^[56][115][k] Jang paytida Stoder minoraning burilishini boshqaradigan g'ildirakda turar edi, lekin bir payt u yon tomoniga suyanib turganida, minoraga to'g'ridan-to'g'ri qarama-qarshi zarba berilib, uni ichkaridan aniq urib, hushidan ketkazdi. U Stimers tomonidan tuzalishi va yengillashishi uchun quyida olib ketilgan.^[107][116]

Ikki kema shunday yaqin masofada bir-birlariga zarba berayotgan edilar, shuningdek, ular besh xil vaqtda o'zaro to'qnashishga muvaffaq bo'lishdi.^[117] 11:00 ga qadar Monitor'minorada o'q otish ta'minoti tugadi. Qurolning port qopqog'idan biri tiqilib qolganida, u minorani to'ldirish va buzib bo'lmaydigan lyukni tuzatish uchun sayoz suvlarga qarab yo'l oldi. Jangdagi tinchlik paytida Worden qurol-yarog 'porti orqali pastki qismga chiqib, umumiy vaziyatni yaxshiroq ko'rib chiqishga muvaffaq bo'ldi. Virjiniya, ko'rish Monitor yuz o'girib, uning e'tiborini Minnesota va yog'och idish yonib ketgan o'qlarni otib yubordi, shuningdek, yaqin atrofni yo'q qildi tortma qayiq Ajdaho. Minora o'q-dorilar bilan to'ldirilganda, Worden faqat bitta o'q otish bilan jangga qaytdi.^[118]

Nashrning oxiriga kelib, Worden Uilyamsni boshqarishga ko'rsatma berdi Monitor Konfederatsiya temir panjasi atrofida, qaerda Leytenant Vud otilgan Virjiniya'7 dyuymli Bruk qurol Monitor's uchuvchi uy, to'g'ridan-to'g'ri ko'rish moslamasi ostiga oldinga qarab urilib, xuddi Worden tashqariga qarab chiqqanda, tor ochilish tagidagi tizimli "temir log" ni yorib chiqing.^[119] Vorden qichqirgani eshitildi, Ko'zlarim - men ko'rman! Uchuvchilar uyidagi boshqalar ham parchalar bilan urilib, qon ketishgan.^[120] Portlashdan qolgan qobiq parchalari va porox qoldiqlari bilan vaqtincha ko'r bo'lib, uchuvchi uyning jiddiy zarar ko'rganiga ishongan Vorden Uilyamsga sayoz suvga kirib ketishni buyurdi. Virjiniya uning chuqur qoralama bilan amal qila olmadi. U yerda Monitor yigirma daqiqa davomida harakatsiz yurib ketdi.^[121] Uchuvchilar uyi urilgan paytda Wordenning jarohati faqat uchuvchi binoda bo'lganlarga va darhol yaqin atrofdagilarga ma'lum bo'lgan. Vorden og'ir yarador bo'lganida, buyruq ijroiya xodimiga o'tdi, Samuel Gren. Ajablanib, u qisqa taraddudlandi va bundan keyin qanday choralar ko'rishga qaror qildi,^[120] but after assessing the damage soon ordered Monitor to return to the battle area.^{[107][118][122]}

Ko'p o'tmay Monitor chekinib, Virjiniya had run aground at which time Jones came down from the spar deck only to find the gun crews not returning fire. Jones demanded to know why and was briefed by Lieutenant Eggleston that powder was low and precious and given Monitor's resistance to shot after two hours of battle, maintained that continued firing at that point would only be a waste of ammunition.^[26] Virjiniya soon managed to break away and headed back towards Norfolk for needed repairs, believing that Monitor had withdrawn from battle. Greene did not pursue Virjiniya^[123] and, like Worden, was under orders to stay with and protect Minnesota,^[124] an action for which he was later criticized.

As a result of the duel between the two ironclads, Monitor had been struck twenty-two times, including nine hits to the turret and two hits to the pilothouse. She had managed to fire forty-one shots from her pair of Dahlgren guns. Virjiniya had sustained ninety-seven indentations to her armor from the fire of Monitor va boshqa kemalar. Neither ship had sustained any significant damage. Fikricha Virjiniya's commander Jones and her other officers, Monitor could have sunk their ship had she hit the vessel at the waterline.^[121][125]

Strategically, the battle between these two ships was considered the most definitive naval battle of the Civil War. The battle itself was largely considered a draw, though it could be argued Virjiniya did slightly more damage.^[121] Monitor did successfully defend Minnesota and the rest of the Union blockading force, while Virjiniya was unable to complete the destruction she started the previous day. The battle between the two ironclads marked a turning point in the way naval warfare would be fought in the immediate future and beyond.^[126] Strategically, nothing had changed: the Union still controlled Hampton Roads and the Confederates still held several rivers and Norfolk,^[127] making it a strategic victory for the North. The battle of the ironclads led to what was referred to as "Monitor fever" in the North. During the course of the war improved designs based on Monitor emerged with a total of 60 ironclads built.^[101]

Immediately following the battle Stimers telegraphed Ericsson, congratulating and thanking him for making it possible to confront the Confederate ironclad and for "saving the day". No sooner than Monitor had weighed anchor, numerous small boats and spectators on shore flocked around the ship to congratulate the crew for what they regarded as their victory over Virjiniya. Assistant Secretary Fox, who observed the entire battle from aboard Minnesota, bortga tushdi Monitor and jokingly told her officers, "Well gentlemen, you don't look as though you just went through one of the greatest naval conflicts on record". A small tug soon came alongside and the blinded Worden was brought up from his cabin while crew members and spectators cheered. He was taken directly to Fort Monroe for preliminary treatment, then to a hospital in Washington shortly thereafter.^[128]

Stimers and Newton soon began repairing the damage to the pilot house and reconfigured the sides from an upright position to a slope of thirty degrees to deflect the shot. During this time, Mrs. Worden personally brought news of her husband's progress and recovery and was optimistic, informing the crew his eyesight would soon return but he would be laid up for some time. She also informed them President Lincoln had personally paid Worden a visit extending his gratitude.^[129] Worden was later taken to his summer home in New York and remained unconscious for three months.^[130] He returned to Naval service in 1862 as captain of USSMontauk, boshqa Monitor-type ironclad.

The Confederates were also celebrating what they considered a victory, as crowds of spectators gathered along the banks of the Elizabeth daryosi, cheering and waving flags, handkerchiefs and hats as Virjiniya, displaying the captured praporjik ning Kongress, passed along up the river. The Confederate government was ecstatic and immediately promoted Buchanan to Admiral.^[131]

Both the Union and Confederacy soon came up with plans for defeating the other's ironclad. Oddly, these did not depend on their own ironclads. The Union Navy chartered a large ship (the piyoda USSVanderbilt ) and reinforced her bow with steel specifically to be used as a naval ram, taqdim etilgan Virjiniya steamed far enough out into Hampton Roads.^[132]

On 11 April, Virjiniya, accompanied by a number of gunboats, steamed into Hampton Roads to Sewell's Point at the southeast edge, almost over to Newport News, in a challenge to Monitor in an attempt to lure the Union ironclad into battle. Virjiniya fired a few shots ineffectively at very long range, while Monitor returned fire while remaining near Fort Monroe, ready to fight if Virjiniya came to attack the Federal force congregated there.^[133] Bundan tashqari, Vanderbilt was in position to ram Virjiniya if she approached the fort. Virjiniya did not take the bait.^[134] In a further attempt to entice Monitor closer to the Confederate side, so she could be boarded, the James River Squadron moved in and captured three merchant ships, the brigs Markus va Sabout, and the schooner Ketrin T. Diks.^[135] These had been grounded and abandoned when they sighted Virjiniya entering the Roads. Their flags were then hoisted "Union-side down " to taunt Monitor into a fight as they were towed back to Norfolk. In the end, both sides had failed to provoke a fight on their terms.^[136]

The Konfederatsiya dengiz kuchlari originally had devised a plan where the Jeyms daryosi eskadrilyasi would swarm Monitor with a party of men with the intention of capturing the vessel by boarding and disabling her by using heavy hammers to drive iron wedges under and disabling the turret and by covering the pilothouse with a wet sail effectively blinding the pilot. Others would throw combustibles down the ventilation openings and smoke holes. At one point Jones made such an attempt to board the vessel but she managed to slip away around the stern of Virjiniya o'z vaqtida.^[118]

A second meeting occurred on 8 May, when Virjiniya came out while Monitor and four other Federal ships bombarded Confederate batteries at Sewell's Point. The Federal ships retired slowly to Fort Monroe, hoping to lure Virjiniya into the Roads. She did not follow, however, and after firing a gun to windward as a sign of contempt, anchored off Sewell's Point. Later, when Confederate forces abandoned Norfolk on 11 May 1862, they were forced to destroy Virjiniya.^[137]

Vayron qilinganidan keyin Virjiniya, Monitor was free to assist the Ittifoq armiyasi va General McClellan's campaign against Richmond. As the Navy always gave command to officers based on seniority, Greene was replaced with Lieutenant Tomas O. Selfrij the day after the battle. Two days later, Selfridge was in turn relieved by Lieutenant William Nicholson Jeffers on 15 May 1862.^[138][139] Monitor was now part of a flotilla under the command of Admiral Jon Rojers bortda Galena, and, along with three other gunboats, steamed up the James River and engaged the Confederate batteries at Drewry's Bluff. The force had instructions to coordinate their efforts with McClellan's forces on land and push on towards Richmond to bombard the city into surrender if possible. Without any assistance, the task force got within 8 mi (13 km) of the Confederate capital but could not proceed further because of sunken vessels and debris placed in the river that blocked further passage. There were also artillery batteries at Fort Darling overlooking and guarding the approach, along with other heavy guns and sharpshooters positioned along the river banks. The fort was strategically situated on the west bank of the James River atop of a blef some 200 ft (61 m) above and overlooking the bend in the river.^[139][140] Monitor was of little help in the assault because the confinement and small gun ports of her turret would not allow her to elevate her guns sufficiently to engage the Confederate batteries at close range, so she had to fall back and fire at a greater distance,^[140] while the other gunboats were unable to overcome the fortifications on their own.^[56] Keyin Monitor received only a few hits, without incurring any damage, the Confederates, many of whom were former crew members of Virjiniya well aware of her ability to withstand cannon shot even at close range,^[141] concentrated their guns on the other ships, especially Galena, which sustained considerable damage and moderate casualties.^[140] After a near four-hour artillery duel and sustaining numerous hits overall, the flotilla was unable to neutralize the fortification and had to turn back.^[142] Not a single Union ship reached Richmond until near the end of the war, when the city was finally evacuated by the Confederates.^[140][143]

After the battle at Drewry's Bluff Monitor remained on the James River providing support, along with the Galena and other gunboats, to McClellan's troops at various points along the river including Harrisonning qo'nish joyi^[145][146] avgust oyida tugagan. However most of the time spent on the river was marked with inactivity and hot weather which had a negative effect on the morale of Monitor'ekipaj. During the long, hot, summer, several crew members became sick and were transferred to Hampton Roads while various officers were replaced including Newton, while Jeffers was replaced by Commander Thomas H. Stevens, Jr.^[l] 15 avgustda. Avgust oxiriga kelib, Monitor was ordered back to Hampton Roads and dropped anchor nearby the sunken Cumberland at Newport News Point on 30 August, much to the approval of the crew. Monitor's sole purpose now was to blockade the James River from any advances made by the newly constructed Virjiniya II, an ironclad ram.^[145]

Repairs and refit

In September Captain John P. Bankhead received orders to take command of Monitor, relieving Stevens, and was sent to Hampton Roads to take charge of the vessel.^[147] Shortly after Bankhead assumed command, Monitor's engines and boilers were condemned by a board of survey which recommended that they be overhauled completely.^[148] On 30 September the ironclad was sent to the Vashington dengiz kuchlari hovlisi for repairs^[149][150] arriving there on 3 October.^[151]

Upon arrival at Washington Monitor and her crew were greeted by a crowd of thousands of cheering admirers who came to see the ship that "saved the nation". Monitor was now a premier tourist attraction and the crowd was soon allowed on board to tour the vessel.^[152] During this time the vessel was picked clean of artifacts for souvenirs by the touring civilians that came aboard. When Stodder and others came to close up the dock and ship one evening Stodder noted, "When we came up to clean that night there was not a key, doorknob, eskuton – there wasn't a thing that hadn't been carried away."^[153]

Oldin Monitor ichiga qo'yildi quruq dok for repairs, Lincoln, Fox, various officials and a few of Worden's close friends arrived to ceremoniously review the vessel and pay respect to the crew and former commander Worden, who after a long and partial recovery arrived for the occasion. Entire army regiments were also directed to come by the navy yard and review the ship and honor the crew. Monitor's crew assembled on deck in formation with their officers in front, while Lincoln, Fox and other guests stood near the turret. When Worden, with part of his face blackened from the wounds he received at Hampton Roads, came aboard, the heavy guns in the navy yard were fired in salom. Lincoln came forward and greeted Worden and then introduced him to some of the others. After his formal greeting the crew swarmed around Worden and embraced and shook hands with their former commander and thanked God for his recovery and return. Worden called each of them by name and spoke friendly to and complimented each of them personally. When order was restored the President gave a short speech about Worden's career. At Fox's request, Worden gave a speech to the gathering about his voyage from New York to Hampton Roads, the trials they were faced with along the way and of the great battle between Monitor va Virjiniya, while paying o'lpon to many of the officers and men involved. In closing he gave special thanks to Ericsson, Lincoln, Welles and all who made construction of Monitor mumkin.^[154][155]

Esa Monitor was undergoing repairs her crew was put aboard USSQirol Filipp and were eventually granted a furlough by Bankhead who himself went on leave.^[156] For approximately six weeks the vessel remained in dry dock while her bottom was scraped clean, the engines and boilers were overhauled, the entire vessel was cleaned and painted, and a number of improvements made, including an iron shield around the top of the turret.^[147] To make the vessel more seaworthy, a 30-foot (9 m) funnel-shaped tutun qutisi was placed over the smoke outlet while taller fresh air vents were installed. The to'shak pastki below was also enlarged and raised by removing some of the side storerooms and placing them below, thus reducing the height of the interior which now barely allowed the crew to stand upright. Several cranes were also added while interior improvements were made making the confining environment more livable. A large blower that operated with its own engine was installed which drew fresh air down through the pilothouse. During this time the two Dahlgren guns were each engraved with large letters, MONITOR & MERRIMAC – WORDEN va MONITOR & MERRIMAC – ERICSSONnavbati bilan.^[m] Additional iron plates were installed covering the dents from the previous battles. Each plate was inscribed with the name of the source from where the shell causing the dent was made. ya'ni Merrimack, Fort Darling, va boshqalar.^[154][157] Stansiyalar were also installed around the perimeter of the freeboard with a rope strung through each making it safer to walk about the deck amid stormy weather and rough seas.^[154] Monitor was finally taken out of dry dock on 26 October. By November the ship was fully repaired and ready to return to service.^[147][158]

USS gravyurasiMonitor sinking, with USSRod-Aylend fonda

On 24 December 1862, orders were issued directing Monitor ga Bofort, Shimoliy Karolina qo'shilmoq USSPassaik va USSMontauk for a joint Army-Navy expedition against Wilmington, North Carolina, where she would join the blockade off Charlston. The orders were received by the crew on Christmas Day, some of whom had been aboard Monitor on her harrowing journey from New York to Hampton Roads in March and were not pleased with the prospect of taking to the high seas once again. Dana Greene remarked, "I do not consider this steamer a sea going vessel".^[159]

The crew celebrated Christmas aboard Monitor while berthed at Hampton Roads in what was described as a most merry fashion, while many other celebrations were occurring along the shore. The ship's cook was paid one dollar to prepare a meal for the crew befitting the day; it was received with mixed opinion. That day, Monitor was made ready for sea, her crew under strict orders not to discuss the impending voyage with anyone, but bad weather delayed her departure until 29 December.^[160]

While the design of Monitor was well-suited for river combat, her low freeboard and heavy turret made her highly unseaworthy in rough waters. Buyrug'i ostida John P. Bankhead, Monitor put to sea on 31 December, under tow from the steamship USSRod-Aylend, as a heavy storm developed off Hatteras burni, Shimoliy Karolina. Using chalk and a blackboard, Bankhead wrote messages alerting Rod-Aylend agar shunday bo'lsa Monitor needed help she would signal with a red lantern.^[161]

Monitor was soon in trouble as the storm increased in ferocity. Large waves were splashing over and completely covering the deck and pilot house so the crew temporarily rigged the wheel atop the turret which was manned by helmsman Francis Butts.^[162] Water continued flooding into the vents and ports and the ship began rolling uncontrollably in the high seas. Sometimes she would drop into a wave with such force the entire hull would tremble. Leaks were beginning to appear everywhere. Bankhead ordered the engineers to start the Vortington nasoslari, which temporarily stemmed the rising waters, but soon Monitor was hit by a squall and a series of violent waves and water continued to work its way into the vessel. Right when the Worthington pump could no longer keep pace with the flooding, a call came from the engine room that water was gaining there. Realizing the ship was in serious trouble, Bankhead signaled Rod-Aylend for help and hoisted the red lantern next to Monitor's white running light atop the turret. He then ordered the anchor dropped to stop the ship's rolling and pitching with little effect, making it no easier for the rescue boats to get close enough to receive her crew. He then ordered the towline cut and called for volunteers,^[163] Stodder, along with crewmates John Stocking,^[164] and James Fenwick volunteered and climbed down from the turret, but eyewitnesses said that as soon as they were on the deck Fenwick and Stocking were quickly swept overboard and drowned. Stodder managed to hang onto the safety lines around the deck and finally cut through the 13 in (33 cm) towline with a hatchet.^[165] At 11:30 pm. Bankhead ordered the engineers to stop engines and divert all available steam to the large Adams centrifugal steam pump;^[166] but with reduced steam output from a boiler being fed wet coal, it too was unable to stem the rapidly rising water.^[167][168] After all of the steam pumps had failed, Bankhead ordered some of the crew to man the hand pumps and organized a chelak brigadasi, ammo foydasi yo'q.^[145]

Greene and Stodder were among the last men to abandon ship and remained with Bankhead who was the last surviving man to abandon the sinking Monitor. In his official report of Monitor to the Navy Department, Bankhead praised Greene and Stodder for their heroic efforts and wrote, "I would beg leave to call the attention of the Admiral and of the Department of the particularly good conduct of Lieutenant Greene and Acting Master Louis N. Stodder, who remained with me until the last, and by their example did much toward inspiring confidence and obedience on the part of the others."^[83]

After a frantic rescue effort, Monitor finally foundered and sank approximately 16 miles (26 km) southeast off Cape Hatteras with the loss of sixteen men,^[169] including four officers, some of whom remained in the turret and went down with the ironclad. Forty-seven men were rescued by the life boats from Rod-Aylend.^{[170][171][n]} Bankhead, Greene and Stodder barely managed to get clear of the sinking vessel and survived the ordeal,^[166] but suffered from exposure from the icy winter sea.^[172] After his initial recovery, Bankhead filed his official report, as did the commanding officers of the Rod-Aylend, stating officers and men of both Monitor va Rod-Aylend did everything within their ability to keep Monitor cho'kishdan. The Navy did not find it necessary to commission a board of inquiry to investigate the affair and took no action against Bankhead or any of his officers.^[173]

Some time later a controversy emerged over why Monitor cho‘kib ketdi. In Armiya va dengiz floti jurnali, Ericsson accused the crew of drunkenness during the storm, being consequently unable to prevent the vessel from sinking. Stodder vigorously defended the crew and rebuked Ericsson's characterization of the crew and events and wrote to Pierce that Ericsson "covers up defects by blaming those that are now dead", pointing out that there were a number of unavoidable events and circumstances that led to the ship's sinking, foremost being the overhang between the upper and lower hulls which came loose and partially separated during the storm from slamming into the violent waves. Stodder's account was corroborated by other shipmates.^[174]

Qayta kashfiyot

The Navy tested an "underwater locator" in August 1949 by searching an area south of the Cape Hatteras dengiz chiroqi for the wreck of Monitor. It found a 140-foot (42.7 m) long object bulky enough to be a shipwreck, in 310 feet (94.5 m) of water that was thought to be Monitor, but powerful currents negated attempts by divers to investigate.^[175] Pensiya Kontr-admiral Edward Ellsberg proposed using external pontonlar to raise the wreck in 1951, the same method of marine salvage he had used on the sunken dengiz osti kemasi S-51, for the cost of $250,000.^[176] To'rt yildan so'ng, Robert F. Marks claimed to have discovered the wreck based on the idea she had drifted into shallow water north of the dengiz chiroqi before sinking. Marx said he had dived on the wreck and placed a Coke bottle with his name on it in one of the gun barrels, although he never provided any proof of his story.^[177]

Interest in locating the ship revived in the early 1970s and Dyuk universiteti, Milliy Geografiya Jamiyati va Milliy Ilmiy Jamg'arma sponsored an expedition in August 1973 to search for the wreck using a towed sonar tizim. The Duke team was led by John G. Newton^[178] (no known relation to the Isaac Newton that served on the Monitor). 27 avgust kuni Monitor was discovered 111 years after sinking, near Hatteras burni at coordinates 35°0′6″N 75 ° 24′23 ″ V / 35.00167 ° N 75.40639 ° Vt / 35.00167; -75.40639Koordinatalar: 35°0′6″N 75 ° 24′23 ″ V / 35.00167 ° N 75.40639 ° Vt / 35.00167; -75.40639. They sent a camera down to photograph the wreck, but the pictures were so fuzzy as to be useless; on a second attempt the camera snagged something on the wreck and was lost. The sonar images did not match what they expected the wreck to look like until they realized that the sinking vessel had turned over while descending and was resting at the bottom upside down. The team announced their discovery on 8 March 1974. Another expedition was mounted that same month to confirm the discovery and the research suv osti Alcoa Sea Probe was able to take still photos and video of the wreck that confirmed it was Monitor.^[179]

These photos revealed that the wreck was disintegrating and the discovery raised another issue. Since the Navy had formally abandoned the wreck in 1953, it could be exploited by divers and private salvage companies as it lay outside North Carolina's territorial limits.^[o] To preserve the ship, the wreck, and everything around it, a .5-dengiz mili (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) radius was designated as the Milliy dengiz qo'riqxonasini kuzatib boring, birinchi AQSh marine sanctuary, on 30 January 1975.^[181] Monitor was also designated a Milliy tarixiy yo'nalish on 23 June 1986.^[182]

USS Monitor anchor at the Mariners' Museum

In 1977, scientists were finally able to view the wreckage in person as the submersible Jonson dengiz havolasi was used to inspect it. The Dengiz havolasi was able to ferry divers down to the sunken vessel and retrieve small artifacts.^[183] U.S. Navy interest in raising the entire ship ended in 1978 when Captain Willard F. Searle Jr. calculated the cost and possible damage expected from the operation: $20 million to stabilize the vessel in place, or as much as $50 million to bring all of it to the surface.^[184] Research continued and artifacts continued to be recovered, including the ship's 1,500-pound (680 kg) anchor in 1983. The growing number of relics required conservation and a proper home so the U.S. Milliy okean va atmosfera boshqarmasi (NOAA), in charge of all U.S. marine sanctuaries, selected the Mariners' Museum on 9 March 1987 after considering proposals from several other institutions.^[185][186]

Ning nusxasi Monitor's turret in the Mariners' Museum as it was recovered

Initial efforts in 1995 by Navy and NOAA divers to raise the warship's propeller were foiled by an abnormally stormy season off Cape Hatteras. Realizing that raising the whole wreck was impractical for financial reasons as well as the inability to bring up the wreck intact, NOAA developed a comprehensive plan to recover the most significant parts of the ship, namely her engine, propeller, guns, and turret. It estimated that the plan would cost over 20 million dollars to implement over four years. The Department of Defense Legacy Resource Management Program contributed $14.5 million. The Navy divers, mainly from its two Mobile Diving and Salvage Units, would perform the bulk of the work necessary in order to train in deep sea conditions and evaluate new equipment.^[187]

Another effort to raise Monitor's propeller was successful on 8 June 1998, although the amount of effort required to work in the difficult conditions off Cape Hatteras was underestimated and the fewer than 30 divers used were nearly overwhelmed. The 1999 dive season was mostly research oriented as divers investigated the wreck in detail, planning how to recover the engine and determining if they could stabilize the hull so that it would not collapse onto the turret. In 2000 the divers shored up the port side of the hull with bags of grout, installed the engine recovery system, an external framework to which the engine would be attached, in preparation for the next season, and made over five times as many dives as they had the previous season.^[188]

The 2001 dive season concentrated on raising the ship's steam engine and kondensator. Hull plates had to be removed to access the engine compartment and both the engine and the condenser had to be separated from the ship, the surrounding wreckage and each other. A Mini Rover ROV was used to provide visibility of the wreck and divers to the support staff above water. The engine was raised on 16 July and the condenser three days later by the kran barjasi Wotan. Doygunlik sho'ng'in was evaluated by the Navy that dive season on Monitor and proved to be very successful, allowing divers to maximize their time on the bottom.^[189] The surface-supplied divers evaluated the use of heliox due to the depth of the wreck. It also proved to be successful once the sho'ng'in stollari were adjusted.^[190]

A Navy diver prepares "the spider"

The turret, moments after it reached the surface, secure in the "spider" lifting frame

Much like the previous year, the 2002 dive season was dedicated to lifting the 120-long-ton (120 t) turret to the surface. Around 160 divers were assigned to remove the parts of the hull, including the armor belt, that lay on top of the turret using chisels, ekzotermik cutting torches and 20,000 psi (137,895 kPa; 1,406 kgf/cm²) hydroblasters. They removed as much of the debris from inside the turret as possible to reduce the weight to be lifted. This was usually betonlangan coal as one of the ship's coal bunkers had ruptured and dumped most of its contents into the turret. The divers prepared the turret roof for the first stage of the lift by excavating underneath the turret and placed steel beams and angle irons to reinforce it for its move onto a lifting platform for the second stage. A large, eight-legged lifting frame, nicknamed the "spider", was carefully positioned over the turret to move it onto the platform and the entire affair would be lifted by the crane mounted on the Wotan. The divers discovered one skeleton in the turret on 26 July before the lift and spent a week carefully chipping about half of it free of the concreted debris; the other half was inaccessible underneath the rear of one of the guns.^[191]

Bilan Tropical Storm Cristobal bearing down on the recovery team, and time and money running out,^[192] the team made the decision to raise the turret on 5 August 2002, after 41 days of work, and the gun turret broke the surface at 5:30 pm to the cheers of everyone aboard Wotan and other recovery ships nearby.^[193] As archaeologists examined the contents of the turret after it has been landed aboard Wotan, they discovered a second skeleton, but removing it did not begin until the turret arrived at the Mariners' Museum for conservation. The remains of these sailors were transferred to the Birgalikda POW / MIA Buxgalteriya buyrug'i (JPAC) at Xikam havo kuchlari bazasi, Hawaii, in the hope that they could be identified.^[194]

Funeral of the Unknowns of the USS Monitor at Arlington National Cemetery (8 March 2013)

Only 16 of the crew were not rescued by Rod-Aylend oldin Monitor sank and the sud antropologlari at JPAC were able to rule out the three missing black crewmen based on the shape of the femurs va bosh suyaklari.^[195] Among the most promising of the 16 candidates were crew members Jacob Nicklis, Robert Williams and William Bryan,^{[196][197][198][199]} but a decade passed without their identities being discovered. On 8 March 2013 their remains were buried at Arlington milliy qabristoni to'liq harbiy sharaflar bilan.^[200]

In 2003 NOAA divers and volunteers returned to the Monitor with the goal of obtaining overall video of the site to create a permanent record of the current conditions on the wreck after the turret recovery. Jeff Johnston of the Milliy dengiz qo'riqxonasini kuzatib boring (MNMS) also wanted a definitive image of the vessel's pilothouse. During the dives, Monitor's iron pilothouse was located near the bow of the vessel and documented for the first time by videographer Rick Allen, of Nautilus Productions, in its inverted position.^[201]

Conservation of the propeller was completed nearly three years after its recovery and it is on display in the Monitor Center at the Mariners' Museum.^[202] As of 2013, conservation of the engine, its components, the turret and the guns continues.^[203] The Dahlgren guns were removed from the turret in September 2004 and placed in their own conservation tanks.^[204] Among some of the artifacts recovered from the sunken vessel was a red signal lantern, possibly the one used to send a distress signal to Rod-Aylend and the last thing to be seen before Monitor sank in 1862 – it was the first object recovered from the site in 1977. A gold wedding band was also recovered from the hand of the skeletal remains of one of Monitor's crew members found in the turret.^[205]

Northrop Grumman Shipyard in Newport News constructed a full-scale non-seaworthy static replica of Monitor. The replica was laid down in February 2005 and completed just two months later on the grounds of the Mariners' Museum.^[206] The Monitor National Marine Sanctuary conducts occasional dives on the wreck to monitor and record any changes in its condition and its environment.^[207]

Monitor gave her name to a new type of mastless, low-freeboard warship that mounted its armament in turrets. Many more were built, including river monitors, and they played key roles in Civil War battles on the Mississippi and James Rivers.

Reed gave these ships a superstructure to increase seaworthiness and raise the freeboard of the gun turrets so they could be worked in all weathers. The superstructure was armored to protect the bases of the turrets, the funnels and the ventilator ducts in what he termed a ko'krak qafasi. The ships were conceived as harbor defense ships with little need to leave port.
