The battle between the CSS Virginia (formerly the Merrimack) and the USS Monitor in March 1862 marked a significant turning point in naval warfare. It was the first meeting of ironclad warships, demonstrating the obsolescence of wooden ships and heralding a new era of naval technology. The battle ended in a stalemate, but it showcased the effectiveness of armored ships and influenced naval design and strategy in future conflicts. This clash also underscored the importance of innovation in military technology during the Civil War.
