USS Monitor (disambiguation)
- USS Monitor (disambiguation)
Two ships of the United States Navy have been named USS "Monitor". The name means "a person or thing that warns or instructs"; it was suggested by the engineer John Ericsson who hoped that his warship — the first "Monitor" — would admonish the Confederate States of America and the United Kingdom which was then sympathetic to the Confederacy.
*"Monitor", launched in 1862, was a revolutionary ironclad warship that gave its name to the monitor warship type. She served in the American Civil War and fought in the battle of Hampton Roads on 1862-03-09. She was lost at sea on 1862-12-31.
*"Monitor" (LSV-5), launched in 1941, was a landing ship that served in World War II, landing troops and equipment on Luzon and Okinawa.
