During the late Victorian period it became popular to design battleships with rams following Rear Admiral Von Tegetthoff desperate, but successful, use of ramming during the Battle of Vis; and ramming did sink a lot of ships. one of them was the HMS Victoria which sank on June 22 1885 with 358 deaths including Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon. Unfortunately the ship which rammed her was HMS Camperdown, oops.
