The clash between the Virginia and the Monitor in March 1862 revolutionized naval warfare because it

Answer 1

On March 9, 1862, during the Civil War, the Monitor and the Virginia (also known as the Merrimac) clashed to a draw at Hampton Roads, Va., in the first battle between two ironclad warships. The Monitor and the Virginia were the first two ships built by the Union and Confederacy, respectively, that had iron armor protecting their hulls.
The Monitor and Merrimac engaged in battle at close range, inflicting considerable damage on each other. The battle therefore ended in a draw, though both sides claimed victory.

Though the battle between Monitor and the Merrimac had little effect on the outcome of the war, the power and hardiness they displayed at Hampton Roads changed the way ships were built. The United States Navy and navies in Europe abandoned the building of wooden ships and began building ironclads, ushering in a new era of iron warships.
