The two Scorpion-class ironclads, HMS Scorpion and HMS Wivern, were ironclad warships ordered by the Confederate States Navy in 1862 and seized in 1863 by the British to prevent their delivery. This would have violated the , which forbade British subjects to build or arm any ships for governments at war with governments friendly to Great Britain. The Scorpion class were masted turret ships, each with two gun turrets that were designed to mount a pair of heavy muzzle-loading guns. They were purchased for service in the Royal Navy in 1864 and served briefly with the Channel Fleet before they became guard ships at Bermuda and Hong Kong. Scorpion was sold in 1903 and sank under tow to be scrapped, while Wivern was sold for scrap in 1922.

Questa avrebbe infatti violato il , che vietava ai sudditi britannici di costruire o armare qualsiasi nave per stati in guerra con governi amici della Gran Bretagna. La classe Scorpion era composta da navi con alberatura tradizionale e torri girevoli, ognuna delle quali era progettata contenere un paio di cannoni pesanti ad avancarica. Nel 1864 furono comprate dal governo britannico per servire nella Royal Navy e servirono brevemente nella Channel Fleet prima di diventare le navi di guardia ai porti delle Bermuda e di Hong Kong. La Scorpion fu venduta nel 1903 ed affondò mentre era trainata per essere por (it)
