What was the name of the Confederate's first ironclad ship?
The CSS Virginia, formerly a Union ship called the USS Merrimack was the first ironclad to actually fight, but CSS Manassas was the first to be built and commissioned as a Confederate warship. * Interesting story here, but it takes a while to tell. Suggest the inquirer do a search of "CSS Manassas" along with another Rebel ironclad ram, the "CSS Louisiana." * The Manassas was a pathetic little ironclad which rammed a Union warship and barely made a dent before being sunk. The Louisiana was a much better ram, more along the lines of the Virginia, but engines were not installed before the battle and she fought immobile alongside Confederate shore batteries at New Orleans before exploding, about five weeks after the famous battle at Hampton Roads.
