What are the Union ironclad warship that fought in the first sea battle of the civil war?
The technical answer to your exact question is "none," as no ironclads from either side participated in the first sea battle of the war. The answer you might be looking for is the USS Monitor, which was the Union entry in the first battle between ironclads in the war. The Confederate ship was the CSS Virginia or Merrimack.
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.
When did America use the ironclads?
