About the application:

An ironclad is a steam-propelled warship protected by iron or steel armor plates used in the early part of the second half of the 19th century. The ironclad was developed as a effect of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive or incendiary shells. The first ironclad battleship, Gloire, was launched by the French Navy in November 1859.[2] The British Admiralty had been considering armored warships since 1856 and prepared a draft design for an armored corvette in 1857; in early 1859 the Royal Navy started building two iron-hulled armored frigates, and by 1861 had created the decision to move to an all-armored war fleet. After the first clashes of ironclads (both with wooden ships and with one other) took put in 1862 during the American Civil Fight, it became clear that the ironclad had replaced the unarmored ship of the line as the most strong warship afloat. This kind of ship would come to be very successful in the American Civil War. Ironclads were designed for a few roles, including as high seas battleships, coastal defense ships, and long-range cruisers. The rapid development of warship design in the late 19th century transformed the ironclad from a wooden-hulled vessel that carried sails to supplement its steam engines into the steel-built, turreted battleships and cruisers familiar in the 20th century. This change was pushed forward by the development of heavier naval guns (the ironclads of the 1880s carried some of the heaviest guns ever mounted at sea at the time), more sophisticated steam engines, and advances in metallurgy which created steel shipbuilding possible. The fast pace of change meant that a lot of ships were obsolete as soon as they were finished, and that naval strategies were in a state of flux. A lot of ironclads were built to create use of the ram or the torpedo, which a number of naval designers considered the necessary weapons of naval combat. There is no clear end to the ironclad period, but towards the end of the 1890s the term ironclad dropped out of use. Fresh ships were increasingly constructed to a standard pattern and designated battleships or armored cruisers. Full text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironclad_warship
