Merrimack

Oh well, it seems the Union doesn't know how to finish the job...guess what we found? The Merrimack, intact from the waterline down. Guess we have a navy after all. In fact we are working on a top secret 'mother of all ships' thanks to this find.
Norfolk shipyard is super sweet, thanks for retreating btw and leaving a ton of great stuff.
We control Hampton Roads, and there is no way you are getting a look at our super secret ship. Forget it, after this we own the seas, and soon the north. Your pathetic blockade will soon be broken.
If you surrender your ships now, we won't be forced to sink every last one to the bottom of the ocean.
