The Merrimack was a Confederate ironclad warship, originally named the USS Merrimack, that was scuttled by the Union Navy and later rebuilt by the Confederates during the American Civil War. It is most famous for its historic confrontation with the Union ironclad USS Monitor during the Battle of Hampton Roads in March 1862, marking the first clash of ironclad warships in naval history. The battle signified a significant shift in naval warfare, transitioning away from wooden ships to armored vessels. The Merrimack was ultimately renamed CSS Virginia after its conversion for Confederate use.
