HMS Conqueror (1881)
text:
HMS Conqueror was an ironclad battleship of the Victorian Royal Navy, whose main armament was an armoured ram. She was the first ship of the Conqueror class to be laid down, her only sister-ship being HMS Hero, which was completed some two years later. At the time of her design it was thought that ramming attacks were the most effective offensive manoeuvre against armoured warships, as the armour of the period was, for a short time, able to defend against the majority of contemporary guns extant
