FEBRUARY 26TH
New Orleans Committee of Safety reported that the finances of the Confederate Navy in that city were deplorable and that was causing problems with enlistment.
FEBRUARY 27TH
The USS Monitor had been delayed by lack of ammunition for its guns, but departed New York City this day, but had to return to port because of steering failure.
his same day, at Norfolk, Flag Officer Forrest, CSN, reported that lack of gun powder was delaying readiness of CSS Virginia to begin her operations against the Union blockading fleet in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
So the two ships about to rock naval technology were having problems.
