The USS Merimack was a US Navy ship that was burnt, sunk and captured by the Confederacy. It was then rebuilt as the Iron Clad CSS Virginia. The armoured Iron plate hull basically made the rest of the worlds naval vessels obselete. The Union responded by getting the USS Monitor designed and built, an Iron clad the nearly sat flush with the water with the exception of a gun turret. The CSS Virginia terrorised Union shipping for a period of time, sinking the wooden ships with ease. The two Iron Clads fought at the Battle of Hampton roads in Virginia, which was essentially a draw however warship design for both the rest of the Civil War and naval history in general was greatly changed.
