John Ericsson class monitors

[edit]

This GTC covers five monitors built for the Swedish and Norwegian Navies during the 1860s. They were designed with the help of John Ericsson, the Swedish-born inventor who had designed the original USS Monitor for the US Navy. The ships were generally kept in reserve, commissioned only briefly during the year, if at all. The last ships weren't sold off until after World War I and most were converted to barges.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
