Of the heaviest ordnance of the time
and the plating heavy enough to resist
the shot Of similar guns at short range
The main purpose Of the craft was
harbor defense. and the plan of action
was TO moor the vessel by a chain
leading down through the bottom Of
the ship at rs center and to spin It
around this center, firing gun after gun
as II came IN the line Of fire, thus an
tieipating the later Timby turret. which
in turn was the germ Of the modern
monitor armorciad. Such vessel was
actually built half century later By
the Russian government and was a
