It has built warships and ocean liners.
The battle between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia changed the way warships were built. The two ships were both ironclad warships.
The battle between the two ironclad warships, USS Monitor (first United States ironclad warship) and CSS Virginia (previously the USS Merrimack and first Confederate States ironclad warship) was significant because it was the first battle in the world where ironclad warships dueled together. The two warships were not the first ironclad warships in the world to be built, but they were the first ironclads to engage in combat against each other.
Built of wood and cloth (powered by the wind).
The US Marine Corps originated when the US Army needed people to guard their warships. Other Marine Corps have been around since warships were first built. Navies didn't have troops, the guards were considered Marines.

RC warships are small remote controlled boats which oftentimes are built to fire small BBs at other RC warships causing them to become damaged and sink. RC warships typically run about 30 dollars a piece depending on their capabilities.
The USN. British warships were considered "short legged" by the USN. HMS warships were built for re-fuelling at naval bases; and had not learned nor were they equipped for "Fuelling At Sea" as USN warships could do; and nearly all Australian warships were British built. Consequently, British/Australian warships were often left out of the battle when battle did come. The British were by no means happy about this. But it couldn't be helped...the US had a war to win (keep up or be left behind!).
Initially reactors were built to produce plutonium for weapons, then for warships (submarines first). After that it seemed sensible to use them for electricity as well
Ironclads
Not many warships were used in World War 2 as enemies usually shot them down, or stole what they had in them for themselves. At first, each country had about 10 ships and more were built, but they often ended up with around 2
