The range of a dreadnought's guns varies depending on the specific type and caliber of the artillery installed. Generally, early 20th-century dreadnought battleships, equipped with 12-inch (305 mm) or larger guns, could fire shells up to 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 kilometers) effectively. Modern naval artillery on advanced battleships or cruisers can achieve even greater ranges, sometimes exceeding 25 miles (40 kilometers) with advanced munitions. However, effective targeting and accuracy decrease at longer distances.

Assuming that the dreadnought you are talking about is the battleship, dreadnought comes from dread + nought. Dread meaning fear or awe and nought meaning lost or bad. Dreadnaughts, when they were invented, became a symbol of power due to their heavy-calibre guns and steam turbine propulsion. Dreadnaughts, therefore, were feared (by enemies) and awed (by the nation's allies); dreadnaughts were also 'bad' as in they were strong and powerful.

These ships were the ones to star in World War I.
