Existing battleship designs of the era typically mounted four large guns in dual-gun turrets fore and aft, with a number of smaller guns lining the sides of the ship, in a fashion similar to older sailing vessels.
This fear was unfounded and later battleships used a superimposed arrangement, with turrets arrayed in a stair-step arrangement on the centerline.
Withdrawn from the fleet because her low speed made it impossible to keep station, from May 1916 Dreadnought was flagship of the 3rd Battle Squadron, based at Sheerness on the Thames, part of a force intended to counter the threat of shore bombardment by prowling German battlecruisers.

One of the problems during this period was that a new class could be designed before the previous class had entered service so that problems with a previous design may not have been learnt yet.
The main improvement this time was a new model of 12inch gun with a longer barrel and hence firing at a higher velocity although this weapon was not as successful as hoped.
The improved main armament guns were a disappointment as the higher velocities led to greater barrel wear and there was greater dispersion (spread) of the shells.

Bellerophon was the name ship of a three-ship battleship class that was very similar to the original Dreadnought, although the 12 inch guns were of a greater caliber length and this class introduced an anti-torpedo bulkhead.
When Dreadnought was completed, Great Britain had made all her earlier “pre-dreadnought” battleships obsolete, so this three-ship class was laid down hard on the heels of that first modern battleship.
