After looking at the info. for the USS Wisconsin...I am wondering if they were trying to describe a Tomahawk or Harpoon missile which are listed as having been used on the Wisconsin. And since it is now a museum....maybe there are misc. ordinance that they have as examples on board.

I am wondering if they were trying to describe a Tomahawk or Harpoon missile...THAT Sounds more reasonable! I still don't know what they'd use it for, though. Unless somebody is considering a HOAX or a diversionary act....Somebody could I guess pack the hull full of explosives in exactly the same manner as one might weld together 55 gallon drums and pack those with TNT. Same principle. We're not talking a missile warhead here, although that's how it might be played in overseas media....

You talk about inert missilies, doesnot that mean the explosive materials has been removed?
What is to keep someone from reloading it? and building a crude weapon to fire it with.
I am sure that during the Civil war the weapons were about as basic, or homemade as possible.
Could you buy the launcher on eBay?
