	Civil War Monitors
		The monitor was dubbed by an observing person "a cheesebox on a raft" and that tells well their appearance.
		Monitor arrived at Hampton Roads on 9 March, and was immediately sent into action against the Confederate ironclad Virginia, which had sunk two US Navy ships the previous day.
		Monitor’s pumps and hand pumps were inadequate to keep her from sinking during stormy weather.

	THE NEW NAVY. WHAT SHALL BE THE NEXT STEP IN NAVAL RECONSTRUCTION?
		This ship is certainly not the monitor, because the monitor had among its distinguishing features a very low free-board not more than two or three feet above the water-line-but they are certainly nor broadside ships, for the distribution of their armor, and their main battery is on the turret principle pure and simple.
		The monitor, as we know it, is of no service except in smooth water, and the testimony of the officers who commanded them during the war is unanimous as to their usefulness for harbor defence only.
		The tactical aspect of the monitor case may be said to be embraced in the foregoing, except in the one matter of draught of water.

	The USS Monitorís Role in Naval History
		The ship’s deck was cleared for action: the iron smoke and ventilator boxes were removed, iron covers were placed into the deck lights and all the hatches were closed.
		The ship would never be able to run the heavy blockade at Fort Monroe, so Josiah Tattnall, now the commander, followed the advice of his pilots and attempted to lighten the ship’s draft to move up the James River towards Richmond.
		The Monitor spent the remainder of the spring of 1862 in the vicinity of City Point patrolling the James River and enforcing the Union blockade.

	Sinking of the Ironclad USS Monitor
		At daybreak on the 29th of December, 1862, at Fort Monroe, the Monitor hove short her anchor, and by ten o'clock in the forenoon she was under way for Charleston, South Carolina, in charge of Commander J. Bankhead.
		The captain again gave orders for the men to leave the ship, and fifteen, all of whom were seamen and men whom I had placed my confidence upon, were the ones who crowded the first boat to leave the ship.
		The ship rolled, and rose upon the sea, sometimes with her keel out of water, so that I was hanging thirty feet above the sea, and with the fate in view that had befallen our much-beloved companion, which no one had witnessed but myself.

		She recommended against a cross ship and that I would be less likely to have problems if I returned my current monitor for repair rather than exchange, even though it would take longer.
		They then agreed to ship me a new (as in not refurbished - there was no misunderstanding here) monitor as soon as they had one available and would cover both the shipping costs and the return costs.
		I explained that this monitor couldn't be new since they didn't have any in their warehouse to ship and wouldn't for a couple of weeks.

	Navy's 'Smart Ship' passes tests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Smart Ship, the USS Yorktown, a guided missile-cruiser that is docked here, was developed as part of an effort to find policy and procedural changes that might allow the Navy to operate its ships with fewer people, much as other agencies have reduced staffing by automating office operations with payroll and personnel systems.
		Rather than using a large team of people to constantly monitor critical systems, such as the engine or the air conditioning, the Yorktown relies on an application called the Standard Machinery Control System to monitor ship systems for potential problems and uses a smaller team to monitor the computers and react to problems.
		Having judged the Smart Ship a success, the Navy plans to freeze development of the Yorktown's technology infrastructure and begin deploying the technology and "lessons learned," on other vessels of a similar class, Sweigard said.

		The idea here is to build a small (frigate-sized) vessel, which can operate on its own (as a mini monitor), or it can "attach" to a larger ship and act as a weapons pod.
