	Royal Sovereign class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Sovereign class was an eight-ship class of pre-dreadnought battleships of the British Royal Navy.
		In 1906, the Royal Sovereigns, like every other battleship in the world, were made obsolete with the launch of the revolutionary HMS Dreadnought, the first all-big-gun battleship.
		Royal Sovereign served in a number of fleets of the Royal Navy.

	Revenge class battleship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Revenge-class battleships were five battleships of the Royal Navy, ordered as World War I loomed on the horizon, and launched in 1914–1916.
		The demise of the Revenge class and others soon after the war showed the advent of the aircraft-carrier as the new Queen of the Seas; though it must be said, the contribution the dreadnoughts made to the Royal Navy's history was immense.
		For subsequent British capital ships, see Renown class battlecruisers that fought in WWI, HMS Hood which was laid down during WWI, the Nelson class of battleships laid down in 1922, the King George V class built before WWII and the world's last battleship, HMS Vanguard.
