The first battle between two steam powered "ironclad" ships. Happened at Hampton Roads in Virginia. The Monitor was a Union ship. The Merrimack was a Confederate ship , but it was really named the "Virginia" (The ship was a Union ship named the Merrimack until it was captured by the Confederacy and renamed the Virginia). To add on to this the battle of the Monitor v. Merrimack: a vessel was created by the Confederates that was an ironclad warship, Lincoln ordered the same warship for the union. The warships were too advance for the weaponry thus both ships did little damage to each other. The significance of this battle was the fact that the ironclad warships changed the history of warfare. This was part of the Anaconda (that stated 1. Blockade the coast 2. Take the Mississippi thus splitting the South into two 3. Capture Richmond which was the seat of power/capital for the South and 4. Drive through the heart of Tennessee because it was the heart of the Confederacy) because the Union wanted to stop the Ironclad warship so it could not travel or import/export, plus it was threatening for the Union.
The USS Jeffers was named after William N Jeffers. He commanded the Monitor after the captain was injured during the battle with the Merrimack. The ship had a long career. It was an escort to the Missouri as it entered Tokyo Bay for the signing of the Japanese surrender at the end of WWII.
The USS Merrimack was 275 feet long. It was a three masted sailing ship that was fitted for steam power.
