	The Dreadnought Project
		Dreadnought was the influential conception of the mercurial Jackie Fisher.
		She broke the evolutionary pattern of battleship design by eliminating a diverse collection of weaponry in favor of an outfit of guns that combined as many of the largest guns as possible with an anti-torpedoboat battery composed of the lightest guns deemed sufficient to ward off these small attackers.
		Dreadnought was built in a little over a year -- a very fast construction cycle which reflected the strenuous imperatives Jackie Fisher placed upon her delivery.

		Dreadnought's hull was based on a streamlined teardrop design employed by the USS Albacore, although her hydroplanes were positioned at the bow rather than on the fin.
		Dreadnought's principle role was be to detect and destroy enemy submarines and hence the term "hunter-killer" was used to describe her.

	HMS Dreadnought (1906)
		Dreadnought was the first battleship of her era to have a uniform main battery, rather than having a few large guns complemented by a heavy secondary battery of somewhat smaller guns.
		Dreadnought would use steam turbines in place of the older triple-expansion engines that had powered almost all previous ships, giving her a design speed of a steady 21 knots (39 km/h).
		Dreadnought could deliver a broadside of eight guns, and fire eight guns abaft or six ahead, in each case only in a narrow range of angles; she could never fire all her ten 12 inch (30 cm) guns at one target.

	HMS Dreadnought Radio Controlled Battleship
		H.M.S. Dreadnought was the first all big gun battleship to be built.
		By firing her guns in groups, aimed from a central control, it was possible to correct the guns' aim by spotting the fall of the shells and correcting the aim accordingly.
		Dreadnought had a quiet war, her only notable achievement being the sinking of U 29 by ramming in 1915, the only occasion when a submarine fell victim to a battleship.
