The "Laird Rams" were two ironclad steam powered rams (ships built for the specific purpose of ramming and sinking other ships), CSS North Carolina and CSS Mississippi, being built under contract for the Confederate States Navy during the U.S. Civil War by the Laird Shipyard at Birkenhead, England.
The two warships would have been superior to virtually any vessel then in the U.S. Navy and thus represented a serious threat, but the Federal government acted Behind the Scenes to cause the British government to seize the rams before they could be delivered. After the Civil War, the ships were purchased by the Royal Navy and renamed HMS Scorpion and HMS Wivern.
