	HMS WARRIOR (1860) : Encyclopedia Entry
		HMS Warrior (1860) (also known as Vernon III and Oil Fuel Hulk C77) was the world's first ocean-going iron-hulled armoured battleship.
		She froze to the slipway when she was launched on December 29, 1860 at the Thames Ironworks at Blackwall, London during the coldest winter for 50 years and six tugs were required to haul her into the river.
		A similar fate had already overtaken several of her successors by this time; in 1926 HMS Valiant became a floating oil tank at Hamoaze, while HMS Agincourt and HMS Northumberland were both stripped down in 1909 and subsequently used as a coal hulks.

	HMS Warrior
		HM STEAM FRIGATE WARRIOR could thus outsail and outfight every Line-of-Battle Ship in existence at that time and this fact was recognised by the Admiralty Board who subsequently afforded her 3rd Rate Line-of-Battle Ship status on the basis of her 705 ship's company.
		She was saved by HMS WARSPITE, whose steering was jammed, steaming between her and the enemy and engaging the Battle Cruisers - two of which were subsequently destroyed or seriously damaged.
		HMS WARRIOR was taken in tow by the ENGADINE, a Seaplane Tender, at about 1900 but by 0500 next morning with her quarterdeck awash the WARRIOR was abandoned and then scuttled 160 miles east of Aberdeen.

	BBC - h2g2 - HMS Warrior
		HMS Warrior was a compromise, with her centre of gravity in the middle, and consequently, problems were inevitable.
		HMS Warrior also had a figurehead on the end of her bow, and along with her sister ship, HMS Black Prince and the HMS Rodney of 1888, was one of the last of the British front-rank ships to carry a figurehead.
		HMS Warrior is now the only surviving iron warship in the world, and is on display in Portsmouth.

	British Navy Ships--HMS Minotaur (1867-1922)
		HMS Minotaur, a 10,690-ton broadside ironclad built at Blackwall, England, was one of six vessels built to the original British concept of an armored battleship: a very long and relatively fast iron-hulled steamer, carrying an extensive sail rig and a large broadside battery of medium-sized (by emerging standards) guns.
		She was also one of the three completed with five masts and, with her sister, HMS Agincourt, had her gun deck almost completely coated with iron armor, a longer expanse of protection than fitted to the other four ships of the type.
		In 1868 she nearly sank HMS Bellerphon in a collision, and in July 1882 missed by a day the Royal Navy's only battleship combat action of her era, the bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt.
