The battle between the two ironclad warships, USS Monitor (first United States ironclad warship) and CSS Virginia (previously the USS Merrimack and first Confederate States ironclad warship) was significant because it was the first battle in the world where ironclad warships dueled together. The two warships were not the first ironclad warships in the world to be built, but they were the first ironclads to engage in combat against each other.
