An ironclad is a type of warship that was armored with iron or steel plating to protect against enemy fire, marking a significant advancement in naval warfare during the 19th century. The most famous examples include the USS Monitor and the CSS Virginia, which fought in the first battle between ironclads in 1862 during the American Civil War.
