The HMS Dreadnought was a revolutionary battleship of the Royal Navy of Great Britain, entering service in 1906. It marked a major technological leap in warship construction—being the first vessel with a uniform, heavy main armament (305 mm guns) and turbine propulsion, making it the fastest battleship of its time. HMS Dreadnought participated in protecting the British coasts and deterring the German fleet during World War I. From 1914 to 1918, she was mainly stationed in the North Sea, serving as the Home Fleet flagship for most of the conflict. Her commissioning gave rise to the term "dreadnought" and sparked a naval arms race between Britain and Germany, directly impacting the course of the war.
