Which constraint increased with ironclad warships displacing wooden ships?

💡 Explanation

Propulsion demands increased due to 'displacement creep'; ironclads required greatly increased coal fuel for the boilers powering steam engines compared to sail, because the increased drag demanded greater thrust. Therefore, propulsion power mattered rather than crew size; that was indirectly related.
