The Battle of the Ironclads, fought between the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia in March 1862, marked a significant turning point in naval warfare during the American Civil War. This battle demonstrated the effectiveness of ironclad ships over traditional wooden vessels, leading to a shift in naval strategy and shipbuilding. The introduction of ironclads diminished the dominance of wooden warships and prompted navies worldwide to adopt similar technologies, ultimately transforming naval combat for years to come. Additionally, the battle underscored the importance of naval power in the conflict, influencing subsequent military strategies on both sides.
