Fun fact, the Parrot Gun was able to use 30-pound charges for it's shot, meaning that it actually had AP to speak of, an unusual for the early Ironclad period.
Then again, the USN had a history of their guns literally exploding so they decided to cut the recommended charges in half. Parrot, on the other hand, made one of the sturdier naval rifles of the time...
... so in this situation, the Warrior is so going to get pummeled.
Warrior just as to sail past and let the bow wave sink Monitor, easy
On topic, SoDak, klutziest ship in the navy
Best known for being the punching bag of Guadalcanal and for sailing into things of at least trying to.
She didn't do great at Guadalcanal, an electrical short leaving her blind in the middle of a night battle which saw her stroll into the middle of a Japanese battlegroup and get smacked about at point blank range taking nasty damage. Luckily she was bailed out by Washington who used the SoDak's bad luck to sneak up and brutalise the Japanese fleet quite decisively.
SoDak went home for repairs and was praised with winning the battle earning her the undying hatred of the Washington which actually did all the hard work, afterwards the two ships had to stagger shore leave due to the constant brawling between their crews.
So pretty clumsy, but also unbelievably lucky as while she did get smashed by Kirishima's guns she also managed to somehow dodge every torpedo fired against her, a wall of 34 long lances mostly by sheer dumb luck as her crew didn't even know they were there.
That alone would suggest a pretty sad combat record, but she did have one moment of glory at Santa Cruz. For all her bad luck the SoDak excelled at gunnery, her Captain was an extremely aggressive officer who trained his gunners hard and it paid off.
During the battle Enterprise, the only USN Carrier still afloat in the Pacific was getting slammed by the Zuikaku, Japans last elite carrier. She was under fierce attack soaking bomb hits and at the end of her famous luck. Right until SoDak rushes in, falls in beside the stricken carrier and proceeds to clear the sky with the finest flak barrage ever deployed by a warship.
SoDak brought down the last scraps of the elite of the IJN carrier force deploying so much gunfire with such accuracy the pilots that returned were too shaken to speak or stand. She not only gutted the Japanese airwing she also saved Enterprise, somewhat marred by her almost ramming the Carrier afterwards and nearly wiping out Enterprise's returning airwing in a moment of excessive enthusiasm.
Clumsy, unlucky, trigger happy, reviled by naval aviators and hated by the ship that bailed her out, yet also absolutely lethal to enemy aircraft and unmatched in her role as a carrier escort.
