Build time for riverine ships?

[hiram ulysses]

New to the game, I am planning on blocking CSA moves into KY by using river gunboats to blockade the necessary rivers, from Cairo to Nashville.

But ... I am 4 gunboats short.

So, how long is the build time for the various ships?

I know it won't be 1 turn, but I'm hoping its not 6 months or more.

Thanks.

I think it's like 1 or 2 months. I'm not exactly sure, because I usually don't realise it.

Lemme explain:
I will start building an ironclad in Jan. 1862, forget about it, and then 5 months later come across it and use it, although I could've used it in March.

Anyways, I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's 1-2 months depending on the ship.

After you build them make sure you send a "Naval Engineer" to sit in the city where they are being built. It might speed things up.
