The first naval battle of the Civil War was that of Hampton Roads, fought on March 8 and 9, 1862, between the Confederate ironclad "Virginia", supported by two gunboats and a Union Fleet blockading the roads, which on the first day
was scattered, suffering the loss of 50-guns Congress and Cumberland, and on the second day, between the aforesaid "Virginia" and her supporting gun boats and the Union ironclad "Monitor". This second encounter remained undecided, but the Confederate ship didn't dare to offer battle again.
When, on May 9,1862, the Confederate were forced to leave Norfolk, the "Virginia" was destroyed by the retreating Rebel forces.
