Battle of Hampton roads results

Strategically, the threat of CSS Virginia to US wooden fleet would never appear again, and US naval blockade of the CSA endured, bankrupting Confederation    Doctrinally, the “Monitor Mania” set in.

The US would be the epicenter, and for the US Navy, the aftereffects of this mania were felt for decades. Some of the Monitors, authorized during US Civil War, had to be kept on the US Navy list until the turn of the century.

Second generation of US monitors (built in 1870–80s) saw some examples still active during WWI (although I’m sure relegated to tertiary roles, far away from frontline duty).The Hamptons Effect refers to a decline in trading volume right before Labor Day weekend and an increase in volume right after the weekend.

The Labor Day weekend is the last long weekend of summer, so it is common for individuals to go on vacation. The Hamptons Effect got its name because the Hamptons is a popular vacation destination for individuals living in New York.

the USS monitor won against the CSS Virginia because it was faster.

the CSS Virginia was made from the hull of the sunken USS Merrimack.
