The two famous ironclads from the American Civil War were the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia. The USS Monitor was built by the Union, while the CSS Virginia was constructed by the Confederacy, originally from the scuttled USS Merrimack. Their historic clash at the Battle of Hampton Roads in March 1862 marked a significant turning point in naval warfare.
