In the evening Virginia retired, planning to resume the attack the following day.
But during the night the US ironclad Monitor joined undetected the remains of the fleet, so when Virginia set out on the 8th it was engaged in a close combat with the Monitor. The fight remain undecided but Virginia didn't dare to set out to fight again and was destroyed by the Confederates when, on May 9th a Federal land attack forced them to evacuate Norfolk.
