Drawing only a half meter of water, it could freely travel through rivers without fear of running aground. Eight tons of armor protected it against any type of weapon, whether wielded by guerrilla [[infantry]], [[Combat Vehicle|vehicles]] or [[BattleMech]] forces. This made the vessel particularly successful in its role to defend strategic positions, river banks, and even coasts. The slow speed of the Monitor was a drawback in open water such as in oceans or big lakes, but it served perfectly on the closed confines of rivers and swamps where terrain negated any of the benefits of long range weapons and allowed the Monitor to make full use of its tremendous firepower.
