No single person invented the practical ironclad. They evolved through many different inventions and additions over a period of about 100 years.
Off the top of my head I can think of the land mine, the machine gun, the repeating rifle, the practical iron clad warship and the gun turret. They were all used to kill people. Michael Montagne - also there was the hot air balloons for reconnaissance missions
The Battle of Mobile Bay.
The USS Monitor was the first Union submarine (it was, in reality, only semi-submersible). The USS Merrimac(k) was salvaged by the Confederate Navy and plated with iron (iron clad) and commissioned as the CSS Virginia. The Monitor and the Virginia went at it in the Battle of Hampton Roads. This went down in history as the first battle between two ironclads.
The two most famous iron-clad ships of the civil war era were the Union's USS Monitor, and the Confederacy's CSS Virginia. They were made famous when they fought at the battle of Hampton Roads, the first confrontation between two iron-clads. (Found on many other sites also, please remember the sites that this was found on may or my not be true)

John "Iron Man" Wilkinson in 1787!
The South's first ironclad warship was the CSS Virginia. This vessel was constructed from a sunken Union ship the USS Merrimack. The Confederates retooled the ship, added much armor and became the first ironclad warship of the US Civil War.
Iron Clad Building was created in 1862.

Ironclads.
Iron Clad was a battleship used by American army. It was designed by John Ericson who had originally designed it for Swedish, but they did not show any interest.
Monitor is the iron clad fighting for the Union. Virginia is the iron clad fighting for the Confederacy. Both ships were equaly matched resulting in a stalemate.
