Is it true that the USS Monitor defeated the Merrimack at Hampton Roads in the Civil War's first battle of the ironclads?
During the US Civil War, the first sea battle in history between two ironclads happened at Hampton Roads. on March 9, 1862. The Union ironclad was the USS Monitor, and the Southern ironclad was the CSS Virginia. The Virginia had been the USS Merrimack, but it was half scuttled at Norfolk and rebuilt as a Southern ironclad. Technically the battle was a draw. With that said, the US navy saw that cannon fire from the Virginia made serious dents in parts of the Monitor and feared another battle. That never happened as the Virginia was scuttled by the South to prevent it from falling into Union hands. Many ironclads based on the Monitor model were built by the Union.

What was the significant about the battle between the Merrimack and the monitor?
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.
