Still Jr. - Softcover","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen the Civil War began, the South had virtually no navy, few seamen, and limited ship-building facilities. In order to defend its ports against a well-established Northern navy, the South had to resort to innovation, and the Confederate ironclad navy was born. The Confederate government commissioned and put into operation twenty-two armorclad vessels of war. This is their story. From the inception of the program, through the problems of building the vessels, through the careers of the vessels themselves (including gripping battle descriptions), to their eventual destruction or surrender, it is all here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is in \u003cstrong\u003eVery\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGood \u003c\/strong\u003econdition.
