The term "ironclad" typically refers to warships covered with iron or steel armor plates, notably used during the American Civil War. The most famous ironclads were the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack), which famously clashed in the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862. These ships represented a significant advancement in naval warfare, marking the transition from wooden ships to armored vessels.
