The Battle of Hampton Roads was a naval battle during the American Civil War that involved a face-off between the Confederate Army ironclad, CSS Virginia and the Union Army ironclad, USS Monitor. The battle took place in a bay along the Atlantic coast, off the shores of Virginia.
A painting depicting this battle was scanned by the Talosians, while they downloaded the USS Enterprise's library computer in 2254. (TOS: "The Cage")
