Summary: In Civil War Ironclads, the first comprehensive study of one of the most ambitious programs in the history of naval shipbuilding, William H. Roberts explores the enormous task of constructing the U.S. Navy's new fleet of ironclads. This process involved establishing a "project office" that was virtually independent of the existing administrative system, broadening the naval industrial base, granting shipbuilding contracts to inland firms -- all under the intense pressure of a wartime economy.
