Ironclad warships were not new to the naval world, what the US Civil War presented was the first time two ironclads fought each other. That was at the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862. Perhaps what changed sea warfare the most was the invention of the turret cannon that was new on the USS Monitor.

It really marked the end of the age of sail. From that point on, ships needed armor plating to repel the weapons of the enemy. And steam power was used to allow full maneuverability.
