not many
261 people died at the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (renamed the CSS Virginia).
Exactly 5692 people died and about 450 people were injured.
If the question asks only about the crews of the two ships, the Monitor had a crew of 59, and the Merrimack had 320, but the entire two-day Battle of Hampton Roads involved thousands more. The Merrimack was joined by five CSN gunboats, and there were five USN warships at Hampton Roads. [The Merrimack sank two of them before the Monitor arrived.]
about 1,100 died. I don't know how many survived. :/ in 1984, 300,000 people were killed but i dont know how many people survived.
The Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack, also known as the Battle of Hampton Roads, was primarily a naval engagement that took place in March 1862 during the American Civil War. The battle featured the ironclad warships USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly known as Merrimack), and there were no traditional troop forces involved in the clash itself. However, the broader context of the battle involved land forces, with Union and Confederate troops stationed nearby, but their direct involvement in the naval battle was minimal.

The Battle of Hampton Roads, which was where the Monitorand the Merrimack fought, was significant because it was the first time ironclad warships fought in a real battle. The battle was inconclusive in terms of the war, but it caused a sudden interest in ironclad ships, and countries like the US, UK, and France began a race to build many of them.The Monitor and Merrimack (also known as the Virginia- the Merrimack was an older ship that was torn apart and rebuilt, and when it was finished, it was renamed the Virginia; but the old name stuck, so you'll see both names used) were ironclads- powerful ships made with metal armor on the sides instead of just wood, and they relied primarily steam engines to move instead of sails. The Merrimack was a Confederate ship; the Monitor belonged to the Union.During the battle, the Merrimack did pretty well against the Union's old wooden ships; after the Monitor arrived, the two ironclads fought each other to a standstill. Despite the inconclusive fight, the world noticed, and immediately started copying the ships, especially the Monitor. The monitor class of ship was very popular right up until the invention of battleships and dreadnoughts in the years leading to World War I.In the picture above this, the Monitor is the one on the right, with the round tower in the middle of it. The Merrimack is the one on the left.
