The French commissioned the first Ironclad in 1860; the La Glori.
Actually, the Confederate States of America made the First Ironclad Battleship in the year of 1863 for the historical Battle of the ironclads. It was a captured Union ship called the Merrimack that was plated with iron so that it could protect itself against the enemy fire. This infuriated the Union causing them to build an ironclad as well naming it the Monitor, the first battleship with a Revolving gun turret. This was in 1863 not until 1867 did the French commission the La Glori.
