CSS Virginia Model
The CSS Virginia relied on its heavy armor plating and sloping sides to make enemy shot bounce off. But the heavy armor plating made the ship sluggish to maneuver and its deep draft restricted it from entering shallow water. Although heavily armed, only a few of its guns could be brought to bear at any one time.
