CSS Squib class torpedo boat(My Original 1/1200)

This is an My original model.

It is the small screw type steamship built by the Civil War age, and is a ship of a torpedo attaching a depth charge to the point of the pole attached to the point of a warship head, contacting it to an enemy ship, and making it explode.
Although it will not not much result by the time this torpedo sinks an enemy ship by shortage of a misfire and gunpowder, and four torpedo boats (Hornet, Scorpion, Squib, Wasp) of the type manufactured this time were actually made, there was one ship which mentioned the success in battle which remains as record.

Although it seems that the gun was not stacked when the actual drawing was seen, since one gate of 12-pound glide guns were to be carried if the naval fleet data card of the war game "Ironclads" of a Yaquinto is seen, 1 in all gate picking attached to it.
Although this ship was built in the arsenal in Richmond in 1864, as stated also in advance, the success in battle which remains historically is only saying that CSS Squib did damage to USS Minnesota on April 7, 1864.It is said that CSS Squib which did damage was involved in the explosion, and incidentally sank.
This photograph is a thing with USS Minnesota.
