Was the rate of fire really that slow, in the Napoleonic wars
a ship of line like "Victory" could load and fire 3 broadsides
per minute. Did they slow this down that much by the Civil War?
I have not studied the Civil War Naval Battles all that much, so
I really have no clue as to what the rate of fire should be, it
just seemed slow to me. Especially since the the Virginia's
gun deck was more on the lines of a traditional lower gundeck
on a ship of the line.

Now this rate of fire I understand because of the Turret
configuration.
