What was the name of the union ironclad ship?
USS "Monitor" was an iron-hulled steam-powered ironclad warship built for the Union Navy (United States Navy) during the American Civil War (1861–1865), the first such ship commissioned by the Navy. "Monitor" played a central role in the Battle of Hampton Roads on 9 March 1862, where, under the command of Lieutenant John L. Worden, she fought the casemate ironclad (built on the hull of the scuttled steam frigate ) to a standstill. The unique design of the ship, distinguished by its revolving turret which was designed by American inventor Theodore Timby, was quickly duplicated and established the monitor class and type of armored steam-powered warship built for the American Navy in the next several decades.
