The French had added an armoured band on the sides of the wooden frigate "Gloire" in 1859 and the British launched an armoured warship (the "Warrior") in 1860, but both ships cannot be considered Ironclads, because they were still a compromise with the old conception of a warship, that's to say they kept the old profiles, being provided with the usual masts and rigging.
That being stated, the first real ironclads were "invented " in America, during the Civil War. The CSS "Virginia" gave her first battle on March 8, 1862 and was encountered by the USS "Monitor" the following day.
The first one was projected by Commander John Brooke, skilled and talented sailor and scientist.
The second one, by the talented engineer, inventor and scientist, Captain John Ericsson.
