  Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the abdication of King Otto of Greece, in 1862, Prince Alfred was chosen to succeed him, but political conventions of long standing rendered it impossible for the British government to accede to their wishes.
Prince Alfred, therefore remained in the navy, and was promoted lieutenant on 24 February 1863, serving under Count Gleichen on HMS Racoon, and captain on 23 February 1866, being then appointed to the command of the frigate HMS Galatea.
The Prince was shot in the just to the right of his spine, and was tended for the next two weeks by six Florence Nightingale trained nurses led by Matron Lucy Osburn who were newly arrived in Australia (February 1868).

HMS Warrior was a compromise, with her centre of gravity in the middle, and consequently, problems were inevitable.

The open question was whether the USS Monitor was the starting point of the 19th century naval architecture revolution culminating in dreadnoughts.
First off, there were at least three armoured steam frigates in the world before the Monitor's famous day on Hampton Roads: the British Warrior (launched 1860), HMS Black Prince (1861), and the French Gloire, which predated them both, having first sailed in 1860.
Interesting side note: the USS New Ironsides, which was commissioned in August of 1862, was a Warrior-type Union ironclad frigate that definitely could have given "the fl snake" a run for its money.

Other ships of the class played their part in surface actions against the Germans, but some of the classic surface actions of the War were still carried out by the old Queen Elizabeths from World War I, especially the Warspite.
Thus, when the British built the first iron and armored steam warships, the Warrior and the Black Prince (completed in 1861 and 1862, respectively), they were essentially large iron and armored frigates.
