The USS Monitor, an ironclad warship, played a crucial role in saving the Union fleet during the Civil War, particularly during its famous battle against the CSS Virginia (formerly the Merrimack) in 1862. This battle marked the first engagement between ironclad warships and effectively neutralized the Confederate threat to Union naval operations. By ensuring the blockade remained intact, the Monitor helped maintain pressure on the Confederacy and contributed to the Union's overall naval strategy.
