The last time the term "ironclad" was used in the 20th century, was during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905; by Russian sailors aboard their battleships. Warships clad in iron armor (over their wooden hulls), were no longer used by most navies in the 20th century; but the "term" was still used. Steel warships were being constructed during the middle and late 1880's, by the main world powers at that time.
