Is there a list of just Ironclad ships used in the Civil War?

What is the significance of the use of italics in the article? -Arb. 15:48, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships)#Referring to ships, we italicize the name of a ship (but not its prefix or designation). Maralia 16:01, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference. There is some interesting and useful information there. And Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(ships)#Capital_letters_or_italics.3F explains the why and wherefore. -Arb. 16:31, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
