So, inspired by similar threads in the post-1900 section, I thought of going back to the origins of armoured ships.
Please ignore for the sake of this thread why France and the UK would ever go to war in ~1862 and why the two ships are alone going at it in an old fashioned duel.
Assuming clear visibility and moderate wind/sea conditions who would win? The French wooden hulled ironclad Gloire? Or the British iron hulled HMS Warrior?
I am afraid they are invulnerable to each other's shots, still the British ship should be better, being faster and having 110 pounder rifles. Maybe ramming would decide it like at Lissa?
