Description:
The USS Monitor was the first ever Union ironclad ship, which was relatively under armed and ineffective. In its first battle against the CSS Virginia (Rebuilt USS Merrimack), the cannonballs from the 280mm cannon balls just bounced off the Virginia’s sloped sides. It was also incredibly slow at only 11kts.
Controls

Note: you must have the game in nautical measurements in order to have the correct speed (11 kts). Also apparently the railing isn't attached, so it kinda just falls off on the starboard side. You'll have to reconnect it. It didn't do that before I put it up so I have no idea what happened.

@IslandSinker I could definitely remake this eventually, it's pretty low-quality lol
i hope i can add a way to level the cannons vertically (but i think its impossible since it woul probably mess up in my phone)
Nope there ws a ship called the merrimsck WHICH became the CSS virginia @asteroidbook345
Nice job, i was going to remaster my old version but i didn't find the time
There'sa bridge tunnel named after the monitor it called "Monitor-Merrimack Memorial Bridge Tunnel" better yet it was located where the battle was!!! Thanks for posting this i have always wanted this on SP since i lived near where the battle was (battle of hampton roads 1862)
