Wooden warships plated with iron. In 1883 the US Navy began construction of all steel battleships (not wood plated with metal). However the name "ironclad" stuck by some of the old sailors.
During the Battle of Tsushima in May 1905, Russian seaman referred to their battleships as "Ironclads", and yet they were constructed of pure steel. Tsushima was the only time in history that steel battleships fought a decisive fleet action.
