Vessel list

This list has been altered a few different times now and still looked clunky. I went and looked through a few different publications (for example: Duel of the Ironclads by Angus Konstam) and compiled this list based off them. The list arranges the categories by least versatile type of monitor to most versatile. Some publications list the Seagoing and Harbor monitors as separate types of monitors from the Coastal type and some publications combine the three under the Coastal heading. I personally like to have them separated; I think it makes better sense. For example, the Roanoke (Harbor) was never able to leave a harbor without extreme capsizing risk and the Miantonomoh (Seagoing) easily steamed across the Atlantic, something the Monitor (Coastal) likely would not have been able to do. Additionally, some text list the Milwaukee class monitors as river monitors. That was their initial, and intended, environment. But at least two of the four steamed in the Gulf of Mexico for extended periods of time justifying Coastal monitor status in many books and in the list I set up. If everybody likes it, we can just leave it alone, but if anybody has any suggestions feel free to air them. Zurel Darrillian 14:36, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It would be interesting to learn if any monitors exist, or at least when the last one was broken up. Sparafucil (talk) 08:21, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
