One of those What Ifs that has the British intervening in the American
Civil War also features a possible battle between the HMS Warrior and
the USS Monitor. I have seen an old thread on a Warrior vs.Virginia,
what would be the possible outcome of a Warrior-Monitor battle on
Chesapeake Bay or in the Virginia Capes, near Hampton?
First question is whether the Warrior could make the journey and once
in U.S. waters sustain her presence?
Second is whether the Warrior could depress her guns sufficiently to
hit the Monitor.
Third whether the smaller weight of the Monitor's shot would be
ineffectual against the Warrior's armor.
