CSS Virginia II | James River Squadron Flagship

CSS Virginia II, an ironclad ram, was laid down at the William Graves' shipyard at Richmond, Virginia in 1862. Acting Constructor William A. Graves, CSN superintended her building, but in order to conserve scarce metal, shortened the casemate called for in the original John L. Porter plans. The armor-plating was 6" thick on the forward face and 5" on the sides and after face.
