    This undated photograph of an engraving provided by Naval History and Heritage Command of USS Monitor soon after its engagement with CSS Virginia shows the damage sustained by Monitor in the battle.The Brooklyn-built Monitor made nautical history after being designed and assembled in 118 days, and then commissioned Feb. 25, 1862. Fighting in the first battle between two ironclads in the Battle of Hampton Roads, March 9, 1862, the engagement marked the first time iron-armored ships clashed in naval warfare and signaled the end of the era of wooden ships.
