Comments by "Kenneth Dean Miller" (@kennethdeanmiller7324) on "USS Galena - Guide 125" video.
You would think that if some people were going to build a warship & place "armor" on the outside, you would think that they would at least TRY to test the type of "armor" they were going to use BEFORE they applied the armor to the entire hull of a ship. The crew was lucky that everyone wasn't killed. One of the things that did surprise me was that it "dropped anchor". I'm not sure if that was standard practice for an "ironclad", however, considering it was the ships first engagement what so ever, I don't think I would have done that until I was a little more confident in the armor actually working...
