Ironclads are boats. Admirals usually command navies, not generals.

No, no civilians were killed in the battle of the ironclads. The battle was very long and tiresome, but because both ships were built so tough, neither were severly damaged!
The battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac during the US Civil War. It was the first time two ironclad ships had fought each other.
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.
The Battle of the Ironclads occurred on March 9, 1862. This naval battle took place during the American Civil War between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (formerly known as the USS Merrimack) in the Hampton Roads harbor of Virginia. It marked the first ever clash between ironclad warships.
