What ironclad warship was commissioned in early 1862 to be used by the Union Navy?

USS Monitor was distinguished by its rotating turret, which was invented by Theodore Timby. Such a design was immediately replicated and helped establish the Monitor class of armored warships constructed for the U.S. Navy during the following few decades. The rest of the ship was designed and constructed in under 101 days in Brooklyn, New York by Swedish-born engineer John Ericsson.
