The HMS Dreadnought, a pioneering battleship that marked a significant evolution in naval warfare technology, was approved for construction in May 1905 and entered service on December 3, 1907. As the flagship of the British Royal Navy’s Home Fleet until 1912, it played a vital role in maritime defense. On March 18, 1916, during the First World War, the Dreadnought made history by sinking the German U-29 submarine in the North Sea, although it missed participating in the Battle of Jutland due to docking maintenance. From 1916 to 1918, it was deployed to patrol the Thames estuary and was transferred to the Reserve in 1919, before being sold and dismantled in 1921. The HMS Dreadnought is renowned for ushering in the era of “dreadnoughts,” distinguishing itself from the earlier “pre-dreadnought” battleships.
