HMS Hero (1885)
text:
HMS Hero was the second and final Conqueror-class battleship. She was an ironclad who served in the Victorian Royal Navy. The Conqueror-class ships were designed to be improved versions of Rupert with a ram as their main armament. It was assumed by the Board of Admiralty and within Naval Architecture circles, that the supremacy of armour over artillery would allow such a ship to ram an enemy vessel without being seriously damaged by enemy gunfire. This assumption was never tested in action.
