not to good it probably couldnt even pass the naval inspection for use. The navy doesnt use battle ships with 120 mm guns anymore with armor plated hull and stern they use medium sized gun boats that carry guided missiles that can be guided hundreds of miles inland from out at sea

the first model looked like the original iron clad La Gloire it had steem wheels like there and didnt look a thing like an iron clad i wish i had a radio controlled mini iron clad. I would love to be a model builder but that takes hands and a whole lot of patience and i have neither i wonder how much they must cost?

No way! (I ume you mean Abrams Tank.) Too slow for water with all that armor, that’s why you don’t see heavily armored ships any more. The best defense is a good offensive/defensive system like the super carriers.

They were the first modern warships built ever. Great video too, I wonder how a modern and upgraded version of them could perform in modern naval warfare.
