More plausible than you might think. The famous Civil War ironclad 
battle was not, as often reported between the Monitor and the 
Merrimac, but between the USS Monitor and a scuttled Federal ship 
whose name had been Merrimack -- with a K -- that had been converted 
into the CSS Virginia.

Virginia. Land of virgins. And who were the Young Man trying to
