The Confederate Navy took the remains of the Merrimac and used it to create the Ironclad CSS Virginia. The USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia fought a battle near Hampton Roads Virginia.
No. Neither side won.
The Union warship USS Monitor defeated the Confederate warship USS Merrimack in the Battle of Hampton Roads. This is also known as the Battle of the Ironclads.
The first ironclad battle of the Civil War (and of history itself) did, indeed, take place at Hampton Roads, Virginia, at the mouth of the James River, on March 9, 1862. Both ironclad warships were damaged during the duel, with the "Merrimac" (or, "Virginia", as she had been renamed before the battle) retreating towards her harbor after the "Monitor" had escaped into shallow water upon taking damage. This first-ever battle between ironclads thus ended in a draw.
