Dreadnought (battleship)

The Dreadnought was a revolutionary battleship introduced by the British Royal Navy in 1906. It featured an all-big-gun armament, mainly large-caliber guns, allowing it to engage enemies at greater distances with increased firepower. Its powerful steam turbines made it faster and more maneuverable than previous battleships. The design set a new standard for naval warfare, prompting many other nations to build similar ships, marking the beginning of the "dreadnought era." Overall, the Dreadnought's combination of firepower, speed, and armor transformed naval strategy and dominance in the early 20th century.
