The Monitor vs. Merrimack battle was fought on March 9, 1862 during the American Civil War.
It was, in fact, not won by anyone. The two ironclads USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (Merrimack) fought against each other for hours. The cannons would not pierce either ship and the battle ended in a draw.

The USS Merrimack had been burned and scuttled when Union forces abandoned Norfolk, Virginia. When the Confederates raised it and made it an ironclad, it was renamed the CSS Virginia. The "Monitor" was the US ironclad and it monitored possible reef or torpedo damage. The name was also thought to infer that this warship would "monitor" the seas and be vigilante for threats.
The monitor vs. Merrimack took place in 1862.
261 people died at the Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack (renamed the CSS Virginia).

1862
The Monitor vs. Merrimack battle was fought on March 9, 1862 during the American Civil War.
If the question asks only about the crews of the two ships, the Monitor had a crew of 59, and the Merrimack had 320, but the entire two-day Battle of Hampton Roads involved thousands more. The Merrimack was joined by five CSN gunboats, and there were five USN warships at Hampton Roads. [The Merrimack sank two of them before the Monitor arrived.]
