The CSS Virginia was a 19th century sailing ship employed by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War.
Formerly named Merrimack, the Confederate Army captured the scuttled ship and refit it as an "ironclad." The Virginia later took part in the historic Battle of Hampton Roads, the first battle between "ironclad" vessels, when it stood off against the Union's USS Monitor.
A painting depicting this battle was stored in the USS Enterprise's library computer in 2254, and was among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS: "The Cage")
