The Merrimac sunk 2 ships in the Hampton Roads.
The loss was of allied and neutral ships in 1917
She didn't sink, she was scrapped in 1623.
"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" "You're a sap, Mr. Jap" "Kilroy was here" "Uncle Sam needs you". "For the boys" "Be like Dad, keep Mum" "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" "We can do IT!" "loose lips sink ships" "God is on our side", etc, etc, etc.
December 31, 1862 was the date that it sank.
do you think the US was always neutral? really tho? there was a case where the ship named the lusitania that was shot by a German U boat and back the the submarines missles were not powerful so what couldve caused this giant ship to sink? ammunition maybe? we were in the war all along just not fighting in it that's why Germany blew up alot of our ships because we were transporting goods and ammunition and bombs and guns and a whole bunch of stuff
A major function of the Union Navy against the Confederacy was Ironclad ships . The Confederacy made the first ironclad ship (named the Virginia , but originally called the Merrimac) . It had destroyed the Congresss and the Cumberland on March 8, 1862 . Then the Union sent out its first ironclad , named the Moniter to defend the Minnesota . When the ships met , the Merrimac damaged the Moniter , but the Minnesota didn't get sunk . Many people argue who won the battle , because the Monitorwas damaged but the Merrimac didn't sink the Minnesota . The Union had 31 ironclads at the end of the war and they were huge advantages because the were made of steel .

Ships do sink....
Roughly 2,000 merchant ships in WWII.
There is no exact number, and you don't have to sink all the ships, only Captain Crawfish's ship. You need to buy a Phoenix Warbird to sink it.
I believe what you are looking for is the well known CSS Virginia (better known as the Merrimac). Another well known confederate vessel was the CSS Hunley, the first submarine to sink an enemy ship.
3,000 Allied ships (175 warships; 2,825 merchant ships)
yes the resistance did sink their own ships
One, the USS Housatonic. There were five Union casualties. The rest of the crew survived by climbing the rigging sticking of the water due to shallow water.
47 or 57 depending on who you read :)
See How_many_times_a_year_do_ships_sink
On average about 500,000 per year.
