French Ironclad Normandie
The French ironclad ''Normandie'' was the third and last of the three wooden- hulled s built for the French Navy in 1858–62. The ships of the ''Gloire'' class were classified as armoured frigates because they only had a single gun deck and their traditional disposition of guns arrayed along the length of the hull also meant that they were broadside ironclads. ''Normandie'' was the first ironclad to cross the Atlantic in support of the French intervention in Mexico in 1862. Although the ship was active during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71, she saw no action. The unseasoned timber of her hull rotted quickly; she was condemned in 1871 and subsequently scrapped.
