Why Hoche overwhelms two Warrior-era ironclads

Who wins between two Warrior-type ironclads and one Hoche?

Hoche wins decisively because the older ships cannot penetrate her effectively or survive her guns and torpedoes.

Warrior and Black Prince belong to an earlier broadside-ironclad generation whose guns could not defeat Hoche's protection reliably. Boarding would not restore the balance because the French ship carried rapid-fire secondary weapons and a crew armed with far more modern small arms. Hoche's own main and secondary batteries could penetrate the older vessels. Torpedoes then add a decisive underwater threat at the short ranges where the British ironclads would have to fight. The proposed encounter also needs a plausible setting: the older British ships are imagined serving on distant stations such as China, while Hoche would be a prestige unit in the Mediterranean or North Atlantic. That deployment objection qualifies how likely the matchup is, without changing the assessment of their relative fighting power.
