A New England era analyze Ammen ram, a nearly invulnerable coast defense vessel under construction at Leon works, Hutson Me, designed to ram enemy ships rather than carry heavy guns. The design features a blade hull, turtleback armor, 18 inch conning tower walls, and compartmentalized watertight sections. The ram relies on a single purpose attack with no torpedoes or guns, hoping to disable battleships with ramming blows and withstand enemy fire. The contract price is $930,000, aiming to outperform larger battleships in coast defense and surprise engagements.
