Basing 1/600 American Civil War Naval units?

[Chogokin]

I stopped by the National Civil War Naval Museum today, and picked up a model of the CSS Albemarle, by Thoroughbred Miniatures. I don't happen to play in that period, I just got it to support the museum and to paint.

I was wondering if anyone happens to know the typical basing arrangement that would be used for that type of a ship. I've got some stock balsa wood in various thicknesses that I can cut to the appropriate size. I may never game with it, but you know, just in case...

The miniature in question is 7.6 cm long (a little over 3"), and about 2 cm wide (a little less than 1").

Thanks!

Most naval rules i've played, in the past, aren't too fussed about base sizes (they tend to measure from the centre of the ship), so unless you are planning on a particular set, i'd suggest you just go with whatever looks right - ie leave a bit of room at the stern for a wake.
