Ironclad Vessels The First Armor–Plated Ships
The idea of protecting ships with armor began in the United States but was first adopted by France in 1855. France built five floating batteries with oak sides and thick armor, launching the Tonnante in March 1855 and the others the same year, and used them at Kinburn in October. Two English ships built on similar lines arrived late, and by 1859 France launched La Gloire, the first ironclad frigate, after testing armor's effectiveness.
