 :至于“Monitor”的原意，则可以参考她的设计师，瑞典裔美国工程师约翰·埃里克森（John Ericsson，1803-1889）的说法：
 <blockquote>
-I now submit for your approbation a name for the floating battery at Green Point. The impregnable and aggressive character of this structure will admonish the leaders of the Southern Rebellion that the batteries on the banks of their rivers will no longer present barriers to the entrance of the Union forces. The iron-clad intruder will thus prove a severe monitor to those leaders. ... "Downing Street" will hardly view with indifference this last "Yankee notion", this monitor. ... On these and many similar grounds I propose to name the new battery Monitor. [Ericsson to Asst. Sec. of Navy, Jan. 20, 1862]

-我现呈请您批准在“绿角”（Green Point）的浮动炮台之名称。这座炮台坚不可摧、攻击性强，将警示南方叛乱的领导人：他们河岸上的炮台将不再是阻挡联邦军队进出的屏障。这位身披铁甲的入侵者将对他们的领导人构成严厉的监视。……“唐宁街”绝不会漠视这最后的“美国产品”，这台监视者。……基于以上种种理由，我提议将这座新炮台命名为“Monitor”。[埃里克森致海军助理部长，1862年1月20日]
