==Importance== 

 I was surprised to see Warrior listed as 'mid' importance. As arguably the most important ship of the 19th century, she deserves a 'top' or at least a 'high' importance rating. Here are some of her claims to fame: 
 *First British ironclad 
 *Second ironclad in the world 
 *First successful iron-hulled warship  
 *Broke the record for largest warship when completed 
 *Revolutionary design and construction 
 *Revolutionary armament scheme 
 *Oldest surviving ironclad 
 *Only surviving major fleet unit from the ironclad period 
 The 19th century might be a neglected period of maritime history, but Warrrior is one of the most important ships of the century...
