The Ibos-clad Lord Warden. — The quantity of armor plating the Lord Warden is intended to carry is between 1350 and 1590 tons Instead of the armor bting carried along a portion of her sides it will cover the whole vulnerable portion of the frigate from stem to stern, and at the same time be completely carried over two decks. The most novel feature observable in the Lord Warden is the high heavy bow, towerine above her fighting deck, which is intended to be armed with the thickest kind of plates, to give protection to the battery of heavy guns intended to be placed in that part of the ship.
