HMS Warrior 1860 is a British ironclad warship launched in 1860. It was the first iron-hulled warship to be commissioned by the Royal Navy and marked a significant advancement in naval technology. Designed by Sir Edward Reed, the ship featured a steam engine and was armed with powerful cannons, making it a formidable presence in its time. The ship was built to counter the threat posed by French naval innovations and represented a shift from wooden sailing ships to modern ironclad vessels. HMS Warrior served in various roles until it was decommissioned in 1883 and is now preserved as a museum ship in Portsmouth, England.
