Given that the first true ironhulled warship was the the union Monitor (the confederate Merrimac was simply a wooden ship with iron plating tacked on) why would ironclads be restricted to the confederacy?Originally posted by unscratchedfoot
-make ironclads only available to the confederacy (or as a ludicrously expensive tech) and not sea-worthy; instead, make them expensive, slow, and give them a nasty high defence (they were pretty-much unsinkable) and no bombard (they couldn't do it) so they are basically a ship-killer used to defend vital coastal areas.
The day after the Merrimacs first battle as an iron plated ship it was engaged by the Union Monitor so you can't even claim that the confederacy was able to enjoy a brief monopoly on ironclads.
