How did the south attempt to avoid the naval blockade?

The South used small, fast ships called blockade runners to outrun the longer Union warships and reach trading ports.


Wooden ships built during the civil war?

During the Civil War, wooden ships were used. The ships the North built were used to blockade the South. The ships the South used were built to outrun the blockade. This all changed when the first ironclad, the Virginia, was made. It was unsinkable at the time. The North answered with the Monitor, and the two ships battled to a stalemate later in the war.


How did the South challenge the blockage?

if you are reffering to the civil war;and blockage being a blockade; then i have an answer. there was a battle between to ironclads (iron ships); The merrimac (southern ship; also called the Virginia) & the monitor (northern ship). neither ship could destroy each other because gun shot and cannon just bounced off of the iron. though there was no real win of the battle; because no one won; the south never tried to outrun the blockades again- concluding a Northern Victory. also **ships that got out of blockades were called blockade runners.


How were the Germans using their U-boats?

They used them almost exclusively for the destruction of commercial shipping towards Britain, hoping to 'starve' the British of strategic supplies, oil and food. They avoided fights with Navy surface ships as these could easily outrun them or - as often happened- ram into them and sink them.


Who was Gary Powers and how did he escalate the Cold War?

Francis Gary Powers was a CIA U-2 pilot. A U-2 can fly at 80,000 feet; higher than the Soviet surface-to-air missiles we knew about could go, so the U-2 pilots thought they could operate in total safety. What they DIDN'T know, was the Soviets had been hard at work on a new surface-to-air missile system they called the S-75 Dvina (NATO calls it the SA-2 Guideline) that could shoot down a U-2.On May 1, 1960, Francis Gary Powers overflew the Soviet Union. May 1 was a major holiday in the Soviet Union, and a lot of their air defenders were off duty then. One battery of SA-2s WAS on duty, and shot down the U-2. (They also shot down one of the fighters attempting to intercept the U-2.) The Soviets captured Powers, recovered the aircraft, developed the film it had shot and used it in a giant propaganda campaign.One of the things that happened in the aftermath of this incident was the US promised to never fly U-2s over the Soviet Union again. We didn't overfly them because by that time we had invented a spy satellite series that photographed enemy targets on a special film; the satellite was designed to fly over a certain part of the earth at a specific time every day and eject the film it had shot, and a specially made airplane would catch the canister of film and take it back to the US to be developed. We also invented the SR-71, which was designed in part to be able to outrun an SA-2 missile. (Y'know, spying on the Soviets really was fun.)

Which is faster fighter jet or rocket?

Usually rockets and missiles are capable of higher speeds than fighters. In particular the air to air missiles used by fighters in combat against other fighters cannot be outrun, this is why fighters have defense systems like flares (for heat seaker) and chaff (for RADAR guided) to trick the guidance system into turning away from its target.
