What this episode covers

We have heard about the naval legends that earned their name from this battle (Admiral Worden from episodes 55 and 56), but here we take an in-depth look at the battle itself. It was the first meeting of two ironclad ships and was the first step towards the metal alloy and steel ships of today. Join us as we go back to a time of technological innovation that changed the course of Navy history.
