HMS Dreadnought, an 18, 110-ton battleship built at Portsmouth Dockyard

HMS Dreadnought, an 18, 110-ton battleship built at Portsmouth Dockyard, England shown here was a battleship of the British Royal Navy that revolutionised naval power. Her entry into service in 1906 represented a marked advance in naval technology that her name came to be associated with an entire generation of battleships, known as the " dreadnoughts". During the First World War HMS Dreadnought served with the 4th Battle Squadron in the North Sea. On 18 March 1915, while on patrol, she rammed and sank the German Submarine U-29. From May 1916, Dreadnought was flagship of the 3rd Battle Squadron, based on the Thames to counter the threat of bombardment by German battlecruisers. Placed in reserve in 1919, the once-revolutionary warship was sold for scrap in 1922. Circa 1906
