Bear Admiral Porter’s views on iron-clads. Extract from Beport to Secretary 
U.S. Navy, February 16th, 1864. 
ct .I think too much has been expected of monitors heretofore, and the fact 
that two or three of them were not able to overcome obstacles formidable enough to 
keep out a large fleet of three-deckers has, in a measure, weakened the confidence 
of the public (who generally know little or nothing about such matters) in them. 
Statement of firings by United States iron-clad “ Passaic” Lieut. Commander E. Simpson.
