La Gloire was a French armored ship (properly: armored), with a steam and steam drive, from the second half of the 19th century. The keel for this unit was laid in 1858, the launch took place in 1859, and the entry into service - in 1860. The total length of the ship was 78.2 meters and a width of 17 meters. The displacement was around 5,600 tons and the maximum speed was around 13 knots. The deck armament, at the time of launch, consisted of 36 front-loading 164 mm rifled guns.

La Gloire was built in a shipyard in the French city of Toulon, and its design assumptions resulted from the experience gained during the battles during the Crimean War (1853-1856). La Gloire turned out to be a revolutionary ship, as it had a wooden structure and a hull, but it was covered with iron armor up to 120 mm thick. This made La Gloire the first truly armored warship in naval history! In addition, La Gloire had a propeller, which was not the case in the mid-1800s. In 1868, the unit underwent modernization, which mainly involved the use of more modern weapons. Due to the incredibly fast development of marine technology in the second half of the 19th century, La Gloire was withdrawn from service as early as 1879, and in 1883 it was scrapped.
