Historical Background
In March 1862, the CSS Virginia clashed with the Union’s USS Monitor at the Battle of Hampton Roads, marking the first battle between ironclad warships in naval history. Designed as a casemate ironclad, the Virginia carried a powerful battery of guns within sloped armor plating that could deflect traditional naval cannon fire. Although the battle was tactically inconclusive, it signaled the end of the age of wooden warships and ushered in a new era of naval technology.
