Combat Ships S01E04 The First Metal Warships 720p WEB h264-CAFFEiNE [eztv]

The evolution from wooden ships to metal ones in the second half of the 19th century is examined. This episode opens in 1845 with a tug of war between HMS <i>Rattler</i> and HMS <i>Alecto</i> to test which was better - paddle or propeller. We reinstate HMS <i>Warrior's</i> place in history; in 1860, she was the largest, fastest ship in the world. The Civil War battle between USS <i>Monitor</i> and CSS <i>Virginia</i> at Hampton Roads changed naval warfare. We pinpoint the moment the USA became a global superpower when we recreate how the USS <i>Olympia</i> won the Battle of Manila Bay, and we show how the revolutionary British HMS <i>Dreadnought</i> brought ship design into the 20th century.
