The world's first steam-powered warship was designed by one of the most famous engineers if the era. The steam battery Demologos was almost an analogy for the energy of the United States as it entered the nineteenth century and established a new prominence on the world stage.
In August of 1918, as the armies of Europe neared exhaustion, American troops of the 28th “Keystone” division were thrown into a nearly forgotten battle that fully represented the horrors of the War to End All Wars.
Of the vaunted ironclad warships of the US Civil War perhaps the mightiest and most terrifying was the confederate ram Tennessee. On August 5, 1864, she would be put to the test in the largest naval engagement of the war, an engagement that defined the divided loyalties of the War of the Rebellion.
