15:1215:12, 25 April 2022 diff hist +2,491‎ Talk:USS Monitor ‎ Raising concerns about possibly outdated views in this article regarding Ericcson turret operation. More modern reassessment seems to suggest that the turret base was not vulnerable to cannon shot getting underneath it as the old version states. Provided quotes and link.

Only in fairweather top speed and pursuit of fast craft did the TBD excel. Corrected.

19:3019:30, 9 April 2022 diff hist +39‎ Fairmile A motor launch ‎ Items seen along side of aft deck are depth charges, not mines. Mines were spherical & carried on top of a square mooring weight, dollied on tracks aft, deployed over the stern. Here, the cylindrical items are arrayed to drop off the sides of the boat, while the 3-pdr aft would have been positioned for'd on a minelayer so as to keep the quarterdeck clear for mine operations.
