An arrogant and egotistical teacher. Actually the CSA gave the ‘’Merrimac’’ a captured and re-fitted Union ship the name ‘’The Virgina’’. And it would have been more correct to say the''engagement'' as most naval battles(not all) are called was ''off'' Hampton Roads, the point of land near where it was fought, ''on The James River''.
