Conflict in characteristics

Redirects

[edit]

CSS Virginia 2 should redirect here -- 65.94.79.6 (talk) 23:20, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

She was never called Virginia II during the war

[edit]

All the contemporaneous documentation I can find calls her Virginia. The "II" was apparently added much later in an effort to lessen confusion with the much more famous CSS Virginia. But, I don't think we ought to state incorrect information here just to reduce confusion. We can certainly add a note to explain the difference.
