The battleship wasn't really invented in one stroke. Ships of war evolved from wood to metal hulls,then to heavier armoured metal, sail gave way to primitive engines, then gradually more sophisticated turbines. Guns got longer barrels, then breech blocks, then more powerful charges.
Metallic Ships hull is generally made up of steel.
That's because metal is very resistant.
The Portuguese invented the three-masted ship in the 1400's. These type of ships replaced the ships that had an oared galley. Three-masted ships were easier to steer.
Ships were invented prior to written records. Thus, we do not know who invented them. Ships were useful to the Greeks because they allowed travel to various islands and they permitted trade, which would have been far more arduous over land.

Ships have existed since before recorded history. Nobody knows exactly when they were first invented, however. The first airplane capable of powered flight was invented by the Wright Brothers in 1903.
