Northern forces retreated until it was blown up by a Rebel
shell adding to the panic of the retreat, with the Federals
returning to Washington as "a rain-soaked mob."
Naval Action

· Therefore, the South created an ironclad ship called the
Merrimack to attack the Union navy.
• In response, the North created an ironclad ship called the
Monitor.

ships
changed
naval
warfare
forever!
The U.S.S. Monitor was the first Union iron-clad ship. This
