1860 - Gloire (France)
5,630 t, 12,5 knots. 36 165-mm guns.
The first in the world sea going ironclad. Converted from wooden battleship.
1861 Warrior (UK)
9,284 t, 14,5 knots. 26 203-mm smoothbore and 10 178-mm rifled guns.
The first all iron and first specially designed ironclad. Iron construction allowed watertight subdivision and improved fire safety. It was also faster than Gloire.
1868 Bellerophon (UK)
7,672 t, 14 knots. 10 229-mm rifled guns.
Its the first Ironclad especially designed to fight other ironclads. It was better armed and armored than Warrior. But number of guns as result reduced.
1869 Monarch (UK)
8,456 t, 15 knots. 2х2 305-mm, 3 - 178-mm guns.
The first sea going towered ship. Central location of towers was not optimal though.
1873 Devastation (UK)
9,480 t, 14 knots. 2х2 305 mm, 4 254-mm guns.
Revolutionary design mastless (no sails) and optimal main armament location in front and rear turrets. It became he role model for battleships until the 1906 Dreadnought.
1879 Dreadnought (UK)
11,061 t, 14 knots. 2х2 320 mm guns.
Larger better armed and armoured Devastation. Should not be confused with 1906 Dreadnought.
