View source for Arkansas Class Monitor (1900)

Four '''Arkansas class monitors''' were completed for the [[United States Navy]] in the first decade of the twentieth century.  They were the final development of the classic [[monitor]] type, as the British coast bombardment ships built during the First World War were a separate development.
