Did the Monitor defeated the Merrimac at Hampton Roads in the first battle of the Civil War?

The first ironclad battle of the Civil War (and of history itself) did, indeed, take place at Hampton Roads, Virginia, at the mouth of the James River, on March 9, 1862. Both ironclad warships were damaged during the duel, with the "Merrimac" (or, "Virginia", as she had been renamed before the battle) retreating towards her harbor after the "Monitor" had escaped into shallow water upon taking damage. This first-ever battle between ironclads thus ended in a draw.
