First sentence: IN ALMOST all aspects of technology, the Warrior was evolutionary rather than revolutionary, her hull shape and structure were typical of good practice of the day, her engines were the well-proven Penn trunk design, while the majority of her numerous guns were smoothbore muzzle-loaders, arranged in a long battery extending over much of her length.
