British battleships
British battleships were powerful ocean-going warships developed primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designed for naval dominance, these ships featured heavy armor and large-caliber guns, enabling them to engage enemy vessels effectively. Notable classes included the Dreadnought, which revolutionized battleship design with its all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion. British battleships played critical roles in World Wars I and II, showcasing naval strategies and technological advancements. Despite their decline with the rise of aircraft carriers and submarines, these battleships remain iconic symbols of naval strength and historical military power.
