Ironclad Battleship

I whould have classed it cruiser :P but that works

lol done. I am classing it as battle ship due to the block count which for an early stage ship is high. at least in my campaign and game plays it is high.

and could u please put either Cruiser pr Battleship in the title bot both its buging me

without eny historical stuff. i mean if we whould class it today like it was just mayde i whould call it a frigate maybe light cruiser. a ironclad battleship was genrerly bigger

I should have put in the description that for some people the size would make it a cruiser for them, where the guns tho make it a battle ship.
So call it what you would like in reality.

I would say that it is aimed to be a ship of the line (battleship) size due to gun size.
The cruisers in the ironclad period generally didn't have big guns as they where intended for patrol long way from base so had mainly sails and generally upto 6" guns with some times a couple of larger calibre.
The name given to a class of ships did change over time and in different navies so what is the right name differs by country. France started using a word similar to battleship before the Royal Navy who stuck with ship of line for longer. Cruisers and the sub types of cruisers was different say bettween USN and Royal Navy the RN had all cruisers calsseds as 1st,2nd or 3rd class cruisers. USN had Protected and Armoured cruisers. German navy had a totally different way of classing ships. Modern days it si a little more clear and due to international treaties between the wars they defined what made a ship in a class so they could define it in the treaty.

soo is it a ironclad cruiser or a ironclad battleship?

Not really as ironclad was a defineition of the armour that was being put on wooden hulled ships which could be of any class such as frigate or battleship of the line. These then became the pre-drednoughts which is still an era that had battle ships that where then metal hulled so no more wood and the metal armour was part of the hull. Then the drednoughts where still a battleship by class just given the dreadnought designation in some navies due to their armaments.
Although cruisers didn't really exist in the ironclad era it was possible to have ironclad battleships, ironclad frigates and the monitors which where an ironclad costal defence gunboat or garrage boat.

soo its a ironclad and cruiser and a battleship sooo u know that it can only ba a battleship or a ironclad or a cruiser
