"Super-Dreadnought"

A "super-dreadnought" is a type of battleship developed in the early 20th century that represented a major leap in naval technology. It featured larger guns, more powerful engines, and better armor than previous battleships, making it more formidable in combat. The term came after the "dreadnought," an earlier revolutionary battleship, signaling a new generation of vessels with advanced design and firepower. Super-dreadnoughts played significant roles during World War I and contributed to naval dominance, but they became outdated with the advent of air power and aircraft carriers in World War II.
