Trivia

An ironclad was a steam-propelled warship protected by steel or iron armor constructed from 1859 to the early 1890s. The ironclad was developed as a result of the vulnerability of wooden warships to explosive and incendiary shells.<ref>Wikipedia: Ironclad Warship</ref>
The community has affectionately dubbed the Ironclad with playful nicknames like "Fatterpillar" and "Ironchad".
