	USS New Ironsides (1862) Information
		USS New Ironsides was a broadside ironclad United States Civil War ship, named in honor of USS Constitution, which earned the nickname "Old Ironsides" during her engagement with HMS Guerrière in the War of 1812.
		New Ironsides operated in support of the blockade of Charleston, South Carolina for the rest of the year, and took part in several attacks on the Confederate fortifications protecting the city.
		New Ironsides was one of several warships that heavily shelled Fort Fisher, preparing the way for a ground assault that captured the position on January 15.

	USS Keokuk
		USS Keokuk, an experimental ironclad steamer, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for the city in Iowa.
		The new ironclad departed New York on 11 March and steamed south to join the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron for the attack on Charleston, South Carolina, and arrived at Newport News, Virginia, two days later.
		As the day of attack on Charleston approached, Keokuk and USS Bibb[?] were busy laying buoys to guide Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont[?]'s ironclad flotilla, which included USS New Ironsides[?] and seven monitors, into the strongly fortified Confederate harbor.

	Civil War Warship Innovation
		Originally named USS Ironsides, the name was changed to USS New Ironsides only one month prior to her launching to avoid confusion with the wooden frigate USS Constitution’s nickname “Old Ironsides.” Classified as a frigate, she was intended to be a “blue-water” warship but rarely had her rigging in place during the war.
		USS New Ironsides, a first generation ironclad, was launched two months after the famous battle between USS Monitor and CSS Virginia in 1862, and served with distinction until the end of the Civil War.
		USS New Ironsides’ much greater ability to deliver and receive punishment with its fourteen 11-inch Dahlgren smoothbores and two 150 pound Parrott rifles may have changed the outcome of this famous battle had she been delivered two months earlier.

		USS NEW IRONSIDES entered service as the flagship of Rear Admiral Samuel du Pont’s South Atlantic Blockading Squadron in August of the year she was commissioned.
		Thus the USS NEW IRONSIDES proved, as the first seagoing ironclad America had, and the only one to see extensive combat during the Civil War, that the day of the all wooden warship was over just as much as the USS MONITOR did.
		Unfortunately for the Confederates, the damage caused by the explosion was insignificant and the USS NEW IRONSIDES remained on station off Charleston until May of 1864, when she finally returned to Philadelphia.
