While they have a great number of ships in Iron & Steel, I note the USS Kearsarge is missing, while the CSS Alabama is there. Anyone have suggestion on what a Kearsarge Record Sheet would be? |

The USS Kearsarge was a Mohican class steam sloop. Details of the class are at the link. link Jim |

With lots of hidden chain armor. |

Unfortunately the rules provide no reference to Mohican or any of the derived vessals. I can likely create one from Yaquinto's Ironclads, which I have a copy of. Interesting that Iron & Steel has over 100 ships with Record Sheets, including CSS Alabama, but no Kearsarge. |

Most of the Union 2nd class steam sloops built from 1860 to the end of the war will do for hull size. The Kearsarge had 11inch Dahlgren pivots, not 150 lb. rifles as some later ships did. It would have a superior captain and superior crew. |
