About HMS Warrior:
The HMS Warrior is the sole surviving warship of Queen Victoria’s Black Battle Fleet which when constructed was the largest and most powerful of her day.
Built over the course of 35 months and launched in 1860, HMS Warrior represented a marked innovation in naval design. She was unique amongst the world’s most armoured warships in having a wrought-iron hull and dual steam and sail power source, and became the name ship of the Warrior-class ironclads. Yet despite her military superiority, HMS Warrior never fired a shot in conflict.there was a constant threat of conflict and war she served as a symbol of the power of the British Navy.
The Chief Constructor of the Navy Issac Watts and the Chief Engineer Thomas Lloyd designed the ship. Warrior was first commissioned into the Royal Navy on 1st August 1861 whilst still being fitted out on the River Thames. The Honourable Arthur Cochrane was her first Captain.
