"Unopposed under crimson skies.
Immortalized, over time their legend will rise.
And their foes can't believe their eyes,
Believe their size, as they fall.
And the dreadnoughts dread nothing at all!"

[Fortunes.Fool.]

“Castles of Steel” by Robert Massie is a fantastic book to read about what happened to naval development after this ship launched.

Unopposed under crimson skies
Immortalized over time
Their legend will rise
And their foes can't believe their eyes
Believe their size
As they fall

AND THE DREADNOUGHTS
DREAD NOTHING AT ALL

It's a great shame the British didn't push for an exception for HMS Dreadnought in the Washington naval treaty so that she could be preserved as a museum ship. 😕

From "The ship that makes other battleships obsolete" to "Battleships. Nobody wants those anymore. Carriers are the future." 50 years

The Dreadnaught Hoax would make for a great episode of Today I Found Out. The personalities that pulled off the hoax and their friends were some of the most fascinating writers and intellectuals of the age.

Dreadnought is such a fantastic name for a ship, and the class gave birth to the modern idea of what constitutes a 'battleship.' Though capital ships have moved on in favor of aircraft carriers, the Dreadnought class and their successors live on in our hearts, and in the last Super Dreadnought still afloat (more or less at times) the USS Texas.

Fitting that these behemoths of steel armor and guns have a song on Sabaton's new album, and good timing on this video regarding them!

Bit of a history fan on the side I see my good man, you are kitted out with the standard English vox and a fine grasp of the platform and I wish you all the very best. ☘️

'Jacky' Fisher was quite a guy. Rough and gritty it was his efforts that account mostly for the rapid construction of HMS Dreadnaught. He pushed construction and did anything possible to speed construction, like taking the guns from the Two Lord Nelson class ships under construction rather than waiting for Dreadnaughts to be made. More importantly though was his total rebuild of training of naval officers and cadets, eliminating the old 'wind and sail, pomp and circumstance' training and replacing it with engine sciences and more modern skills. Jacky said once that he expected officers to understand every inch of the ships they commanded as good as any rate... He would make a good biography!

Operating the main cannons in the dreadnought in battlefield 1 multiplayer is so fun. Level entire buildings to dust and evaporate whole squads of the other team

[Liontamer-gjxw]

One interesting thing about her guns was that they were taken from the Lord Nelsion class pre-dreadnought's under construction.

A shadow moves across the water in pursuit.
It splits the waves, commands the seas and defies the wind.

FYI: There is still one 'DREADNAUGHT' vintage battleship still around. Though not British, the USS TEXAS is a museum ship in Galveston TX USA

3:55 1 corection about the Japanese Ship. All the guns were 12inch but the barel/caliber wasn’t the same.
I think they did replace the short guns later on tho i am not sure🤔

[AngryCanine]

anyone else listening to Sabaton - Dreadnought and see this in the recommended list? don't know why I didn't see this in my sub feed, but glad it came up in the recommended list eventually

[randomobserver]

I wouldn't mind a video on how the electro-mechanical systems of that era actually worked- the fire control tables and range finders, the ship's communications from station to station, and so on. Like, how DID the FCT actually coordinate the battery fire?

HMS Dreadnought lives on at Tier III on World of Warships. The low tiers are full of dreadnought battleships.
