The CSS Alabama had been hugely successful in sinking Union cargo ships yet it never was engaged in a sea battle with a Union warship. This changed in January of 1863. The USS Hatteras was on blockade duty off the coast of Galveston, Texas. The Alabama and the Hatters had a short engagement in which the Hatteras was lost due to the better cannons of the CSS Alabama.

The first battle between two steam powered "ironclad" ships. Happened at Hampton Roads in Virginia. The Monitor was a Union ship.

To add on to this the battle of the Monitor v. Merrimack: a vessel was created by the Confederates that was an ironclad warship, Lincoln ordered the same warship for the union. The warships were too advance for the weaponry thus both ships did little damage to each other. The significance of this battle was the fact that the ironclad warships changed the history of warfare. This was part of the Anaconda (that stated 1. Blockade the coast 2. Take the Mississippi thus splitting the South into two 3. Capture Richmond which was the seat of power/capital for the South and 4. Drive through the heart of Tennessee because it was the heart of the Confederacy) because the Union wanted to stop the Ironclad warship so it could not travel or import/export, plus it was threatening for the Union.
