The revolutionary design housed the main guns, 10 boilers, and steam engine inside an impregnable armored “box, or citadel, made from 4½in thick wrought iron plates. Warrior is the only surviving example of Britains “Black Battlefleet--the 45 iron hulls built for the Royal Navy between 1861 and 1877.
