HMS Dreadnought |

 |

 |
||||||
| HMS Dreadnought was the first in a new class of fighting ships, which she gave her name to. Effectively the first modern battleship, she was launched in 1906. She also gave rise to the so-called Dreadnought Race, in which the Great Powers of Europe, especially the British and German Empires, raced to launch more and more battleships of her class. | ||||||
