发生在美国南北战争期间的汉普顿锚地之战,是世界海战史上第一次铁甲舰之间的战斗,此后,统治海洋2300多年的木质战舰成为历史。正当弗吉尼亚号船员们进入梦乡的时候,一封有关联邦海军分舰队遭到毁灭性打击的加急电报飞向了北方。第二天早上,林肯总统紧急召开了一次内阁会议商讨应敌对策。 The battle of the Hamptons Anchorage, which took place during the American Civil War, was the first battle between ironclad vessels in the history of naval battle in the world. Since then, wooden warships that dominate the ocean for more than 2,300 years have become history. As Virginia crew members drowned, an urgent telegram about the devastating attack on the federal naval fleet flew north. The next morning, President Lincoln convened an urgent cabinet meeting to discuss countermeasures.
