Monitor Fleet Worthy Warships for Ocean Service
Admiral Jouett claims the American monitor is the highest form of marine fighting craft. The new six first class double turret monitors led by the Puritan, Amphitrite, Mountauk, Monadnock, Monterey, and Terror show seaworthy, long voyage capability. They are coastal-defense vessels rated battleships in open sea fighting capacity, with the Puritan at 6 060 tons and 4 700 horsepower, armed with four 12 inch rifles and rapid-fire guns. The fleet prioritizes heavy protection and endurance over speed, cruising at 11.5 to 14 knots.
