The Nashville-class ironclad was a class of three side-wheel casemate ironclads built for the Confederate States Navy during the American Civil War. Only the lead ship of the class, Nashville, was commissioned into Confederate States Navy service; two sister ships were broken up on the stocks before they were completed.
