CSS Richmond, an ironclad ram, was built at Gosport (Norfolk) Navy Yard to the design of John L.

Consequently she was sometimes referred to as Virginia II, Virginia No. 2 or Young Virginia in the South and as Merrimack No. 2, New Merrimack or Young Merrimack by Union writers, months before the actual CSS Virginia II was ever laid down.
