The battle was the first one fought between two ironclads and signed the unrestrainable decline of the wooden warship's era.
The Union Monitor and the Confederate Merrimack, renamed the Virginia, traded blows in Hampton Roads for several hours but neither was able to disable the other. Eventually both ships retreated to their bases, the Virginia more the worse for wear, and never met again.

V-E Day is the day when World War II ended. (May 8, 1945)
It took place into Hampton Roads.
It was the first battle between ironclad ships.
The first battle between ironclads at Hampton Roads turned out to be a draw. The battle between the USS Monitor and the Confederate Merrimack became a moot point as they never battled again. The South had to sink the CSA Merrimack as it took in too much water. The USS Monitor, was in a draw with the Merrimack, and eventually was lost at sea. As it turned out, the gains would have been minimal.

The battle of Monitor vs. Merrimack (renamed the CSS Virginia) was fought on the 8th and 9th of March in the year 1862 in Hampton Roads, Virginia The Monitor did not arrive in time for the first day of the battle.
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.
