Explanation

The Monitor and the Merrimack (also called the Virginia) fought to a standstill, so neither side won a clear victory. The battle showed that ironclad ships could withstand attacks that would destroy wooden vessels, helping change naval warfare around the world. It did not lead to a return to wooden ships or directly help the Union destroy the Confederacy.
