The Confederates had an ironclad ship called the CSS Virginia. It was once a Union wooden frigate with sails. It was called the USS Merrimac. The Confederates cut off her sails and covered her with iron. She was destroying the US Naval fleet of wooden ships until the USS Monitor stopped her. The USS Monitor helped save the Union.
