    Interesting trivia – she was heavily damaged in the civil war and the US Navy wanted to replace her, but Congress wouldn’t authorize a new ship so the navy got money to repair her, scrapped her and built a whole new, larger ship with the same name with a few pieces of the old ship saying the rest had been “replaced”

    Yeah, they did that sort of stuff even then – the new ship didn’t even look like the old one.
