Tekkōsen
Nobunaga Oda, a Daimyō Japanese, had six Ōatakebune (大安宅船) covered with iron manufactured in 1576. These boats were called Tekkōsen (鉄甲船, ships with an iron armor) and were armed with multiple guns and rifles with large gauges to destroy the vessels of the enemy, large but armor-plated.
A flotilla of Tekkōsen destroyed the army of Mori to the mouth of the river Kizu, close to Ōsaka in 1578 in a naval Blocus succeeded. They are regarded as floating fortresses rather than like war buildings and were never used in open sea.
