Dreadnought

An amazing male, whom is very sweet, kind, and loveable. Your best friend, and mentor... That guy you just want to hug and hug and hug forever... That guy you love like a brother... maybe as more, though. Someone who will never laugh at you, and will make you feel as if you're the only person alive that matters... That loves you fully, but let would let you go out with his best friend, because he's just that kind of guy... Even though you eventually end up being with him.

Dreadnought

A dreadnought was a type of battleship that emerged in the early 20th century. It all started in 1906, when the Royal Navy launched HMS Dreadnought. With its steam turbine engine, and uniform “all big gun” battery, its design was so superior that it made literally every other battleship in the world completely obsolete. The USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Russia, Spain, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even Chile, Brazil and Argentina frantically began building and buying ships of this type, which collectively became known as “dreadnoughts”. This “dreadnought race” is comparable to the nuclear arms race of the Cold War. Dreadnoughts were enormously expensive, and a nation’s technological, economic and industrial power was measured by how many dreadnoughts it possessed. Dreadnoughts ruled the waves up until WWII, when the age of battleships in general came to an end. Aircraft carriers and naval aviation superseded them as the key striking power of a modern fleet.
British and German dreadnoughts clashed inconclusively during WWI in 1916 at the battle of Jutland, considered by some the largest naval battle in history.

Spain built three dreadnoughts of the España class. Because of the feeble Spanish economy, they were the smallest dreadnoughts ever built. They did see combat action, but all three were destroyed in rather ignominious ways.

Dreadnought

Basically a pre-battleship. The dreadnought era ended pretty much in 1922. It began in 1906 with the launch of HMS Dreadnought. HMS Dreadnought was a revolutionary design, and made every other battleship in every navy instantly obsolete.
The Queen Elizabeth class were dreadnoughts

The New York class were dreadnoughts
