It was the ancient Chinese who built the first armored ship. It had overlapping plates connected with rings like scales on a snake attached to a wooden frame.
A battleship is a large warship designed for combat operations at sea. It is heavily armed and armored to engage enemy ships and provide naval gunfire support during wartime.

Basically, an "ironclad" was a steam-propelled warship fitted with plates of iron armor. The idea of an armored warship was not new; the Vikings used to line the sides of their longships with their shields, several shipbuilders came up with the idea of a ship encased in lead, and, most famously, the Koreans built a "turtle" ship in the sixteenth century, armored with iron and propelled by oars. None of these really led to further warship designs, so they are only historical curiosities. The steam-propelled ironclads of the 1800s, on the other hand, led directly to the warships of today.
The first ironclad warship, the USS Monitor, was designed and constructed during the American Civil War, with its launch occurring in 1861. Another notable early ironclad, the CSS Virginia, was also introduced in the same year. These innovations marked a significant advancement in naval warfare, transitioning from wooden ships to armored vessels.
A large warship that begins with the letter "B" is the battleship. Battleships are heavily armored and armed warships designed for engaging enemy forces, providing naval gunfire support, and serving as flagships in naval operations. Historically significant in naval warfare, their role has diminished with the advent of aircraft carriers and missile technology.
No single person invented the practical ironclad. They evolved through many different inventions and additions over a period of about 100 years.
The key differences between a monitor and the Merrimac in terms of their design and capabilities are that a monitor is a type of warship with a low profile and heavily armored turret, designed for close combat, while the Merrimac was an ironclad warship with a sloped armor design and steam-powered engines, known for its role in the American Civil War.
Warship International was created in 1964.
Warship - journal - was created in 1977.
The first Union ironclad warship for the Union in the US Civil War was the USS Monitor. It was designed by Swedish engineer, John Ericsson. The ship was unique in that it was the first warship to have a revolving turret. This enabled the ship to always be able to aim its cannons on an enemy warship. The USS Monitor was built in 1862 and battled the CSS Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads.
