The CSA stole a naval battle ship by the name of the USS Merimer and redesigned it into an ironclad named the CSS Virginia. The CSA used this ship to patrol around Chesapeake Bay and destroy wooden USA naval ships. The Union then designed an ironclad named the USS Monitor, which could move in shallower water (better for the Chesapeake Bay) and had a revolving turret. The revolving turret allowed the Monitor to continue firing on the CSS Virginia without manuvering it's whole body. The CSS Virgina was made for deeper water, and had trouble moving around in the shallow bay.
Interesting fact: The USS Monitor had toilets onboard.
