DREADNOUGHTS 1906 HMS Dreadnought was a Royal Navy battleship whose design revolutionised naval power. The ship's entry into service in 1906 represented such an advance in naval technology that her name came to be associated with an entire generation of battleships, the "dreadnoughts", as well as the class of ships named after her. Likewise, the generation of ships she made obsolete became known as "pre-dreadnoughts". Frontispiece from pictures by William Lionel Wyllie in the book ' The British battle fleet : its inception and growth throughout the centuries to the present day ' Volume 2 by Ja
