Hampton Roads
(Two iron covered ships) fought during the Battle of Hampton Roads on March 9, 1862.
The Battle of the Monitor and Merrimack, also known as the Battle of Hampton Roads, was primarily a naval engagement that took place in March 1862 during the American Civil War. The battle featured the ironclad warships USS Monitor and CSS Virginia (formerly known as Merrimack), and there were no traditional troop forces involved in the clash itself. However, the broader context of the battle involved land forces, with Union and Confederate troops stationed nearby, but their direct involvement in the naval battle was minimal.
Iron clad ships were introduced into battle
The Battle of Hampton Roads was fought over the two day period spanning March 8-9, 1862 in Hampton Roads. Hampton Roads is basically a ship dock in Virginia where the James River meets the Nansemond and Elizabeth Rivers right outside Chesapeake Bay. It was the first time in naval warfare that two ironclads met in battle. As an aside the sinking of Union ships at Hampton Roads by the CSS Virginia caused a delay in the Union's Peninsula campaign.
