[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] Sorry, "HMS Warrior." I'm so used to writing "USS." A bit of background for those interested. Warrior was launched in 1860. She basically looked like a side-firing steam frigate of the time, but had a framework and partial covering of iron. She's still afloat in Portsmouth, for you in the UK who are interested. Ironclad ships were first used by the British and French in the bombardment of a Russian fort at Kinburn in 1855. The Battle of Hampton Roads (March 1862) is properly described as the first combat between ironclad ships. [/QB][/QUOTE]
