The merrimack, also known by the CSA as the CSS Virginia. Too bad the game doesnt reflect how terrifying it would be to fight with these, the Confederate ironclad had superior armor paneling while the union ironclad was able to get fresh troops and ammunition because of its proximity to a union controlled shoreline. The occupants would routinely remove the shirts and jackets of they're uniforms and wear bandannas across they're brow to keep sweat out of their eyes. As you can imagine a boat made of iron is pretty good at soaking up heat.
