Both the North and the South had ironclad warships during the American Civil War. The most famous Northern ironclad was the USS Monitor, while the Confederacy's notable ironclad was the CSS Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack). These ships represented a significant advancement in naval technology and played crucial roles in naval battles, particularly in the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862.
