[quote] They were first commissioned by British Prime Minister, Lord Palmerston, to repel the threat of a French invasion in 1859, but were never used for their main purpose after taking too long to complete (around 15 years).

They did thwart the invasion however — the French got so tired waiting for the British to finally get on with it that they gave up on invading altogether. Instead they decided to be defeated by the Germans.
