I've been asked to clarify whether the communication problem referenced in question 15 involved ship-to-ship communications or communications between sailors on the same ship.

The question refers to ship-to-ship communications.

Nope, no intercoms on ironclads, but what about 'voice pipes' or 'speaking tubes'?

I guess that's for a different question.

15. This question has got me "in irons." I would guess that because they generally did not have masts and spars it was very difficult if not impossible to rig signal flags. For example, the Monitor crew wrote on a blackboard to send messages to other Union ships.
