The "Merrimac"
weaken the nothern blockade
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.

The South developed ironclad technology during the Civil War primarily in response to the Union's naval superiority. The most notable example is the CSS Virginia, constructed from the remains of the scuttled USS Merrimack, which showcased the effectiveness of ironclad ships in battle. The Confederacy sought to counteract Union blockades and protect its ports, leading to innovations in naval warfare. Despite some initial successes, limited resources hindered the South's ability to sustain and expand its ironclad fleet.
There were 2 ironclads, the Merrimac of the South and the Monitor of the North.

The South renamed the USS Merrimack to CSS Virginia after they converted it into an ironclad warship during the Civil War.
