	BBC - h2g2 - HMS Warrior - A538030
		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.
		In 1863, HMS Achilles was built, and after she was commissioned in 1865, was considered the superior warship of the world.

	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.
		Minotaur took a long time to reach active service: keel laid in September 1861, launched in December 1863, completed for experimental service in 1865 and commissioned in April 1867 (though some standard sources don't have her completed until December 1868).

	HMSAchilles
		She was a modification of HMS Warrior, the Navy's first major armoured warship to be built wholly of iron, and now preserved at Portsmouth.
		Achilles was originally designed to almost the same plan as Warrior, but a lack of protection to the steering gear had been noticed in the earlier vessel, and this was rectified, raising the weight of the new ship from 6710 tons to 9280 tons.
		At this time Britain was moving through a relatively peaceful period in her history, and ships of the line saw little action, and this is reflected in the Log of the Achilles for the time in which George Orchard served on her.

		One ship in attendance was the HMS Beagle, later made famous by Charles Darwin.

		The obvious break points in this scheme are the end of the Napoleonic Wars (obviously the greatest sea wars of the Age of Fighting Sail) and the commissioning of the first steam warship Demologos in 1815; the bombardment of Kinburn by French ironclads in 1855; and the laying down of HMS Dreadnought in 1905.
		With no obvious event to serve as a breakpoint, however, the end of the ironclad period is more difficult to pinpoint.

		He is reputed in Dictionary of National Biography 20th Century and The Times' obituary to have served as a Naval Cadet on HMS Castor during the South African War, 1850-53, but he is not on the Medal Roll.
		He was Chief Scientist for the dredging voyages of HMS Porcupine and Lightning, and authored The Depths of the Sea in 1873, which summarized the findings of these voyages and presented a case for a global oceanographic voyage of exploration.

		In the whole of that 50 years only a few bombardments - of Kinburn in 1855, Japanese targets in 1863, and Alexandria in 1882 - entailed the firing of a British fleet’s heavy guns in anger.
		True, there was a host of amphibious or riverine operations, in the Ashanti, Zulu, Boer, Chinese, Japanese, Egyptian and Sudanese Wars3; but these were scarcely typical of the work the main fleets were meant to do.
		Their fears were confirmed when at the bombardment of Kagoshima in 1863, 28 accidents were reported in a total of 365 rounds fired by 21 breech-loading guns53.
