Thank you for your comment.
This is a model of a real ship, USS "Monitor", launched in 1862. She was the first armored ship to have her heavy guns mounted in a turret and to use them in battle. It was at Hampton Roads in 1862, a few weks after her launch, and her opponent was the CSS "Virginia", also known as "Merrimac".
