Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei whitianga - USS "New Ironsides" he rakau-whakaputaina widebody ironclad hanga mo te United States Navy i roto i te American Civil War. I whakapau kaha te kaipuke i te nuinga o tana mahi ki te aukati i nga tauranga Confederate o Charleston, South Carolina, me Wilmington, North Carolina, i te 1863-65. I whakaekehia e "New Ironsides" nga whakapae e tiaki ana i a Charleston i te tau 1863 i te Pakanga Tuatahi me te Tuarua o Charleston Harbor. I te mutunga o te tau 1864 me te timatanga o te tau 1865, i whakaekehia e ia nga whakangungu o Wilmington i te Pakanga Tuatahi me te Tuarua o Fort Fisher
