		Dreadnought was commissioned for trials in December 1906, and in January 1907 she sailed for the Mediterranean Sea and then to Port-of-Spain, Trinidad.
		Dreadnought had originally been built to show other navies the futility of attempting to go toe-to-toe with the Royal Navy, but as in the past (see HMS Warrior for instance), the Navy underestimated the German fleet's desire to maintain parity.

		This vessel represented an important departure from the comtemporary battleship design, and as she was the first vessel of the twentieth century to embody the all-big-gun principle, as well as to be fitted with turbine machinery, much attention was concentrated upon her trials and subsequent behaviour.

		The sixth HMS Dreadnought of the British Royal Navy was the first battleship to have a uniform main battery, rather than having secondary smaller guns.
		Dreadnought would use steam turbines in place of the older triple-expansion engines that had powered almost all previous ships, with a design speed of a steady 21 knots.
		Nonetheless, the vessels which Dreadnought was expected to engage could only bring to bear four guns of similar size, plus a host of smaller weapons which would be kept at a safe stand-off distance by Dreadnought`s shells.

		Dreadnought had 10-12" guns mounted in five turrets; three along the centreline and two on the wings, giving it twice the broadside of anything else afloat.
		The other great innovation of the Dreadnought was the introduction of steam turbines, enabling it to sustain its maximum speed for longer and with less maintenance than its triple-expansion engine powered predecessors and contemporaries were able to do.

		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 arrangement tended to reduce the amount of guns which could be brought to bear on a target; the ''Dreadnought'' could, at most, deliver a broadside of eight guns, abaft fire of eight guns, and astern fire of six guns, in each case only in a narrow range of angles.
		The vessels which ''Dreadnought'' was expected to engage could only bring to bear four guns of similar size, plus a host of smaller weapons which would be kept at a safe stand-off distance by ''Dreadnought''
