HMS Dreadnought, launched in 1906, was a revolutionary battleship that significantly changed naval warfare with its all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion. After serving in World War I, she was decommissioned and sold for scrap in 1921. The term "dreadnought" became synonymous with a new class of battleships that followed her design. Dreadnought's innovations set the standard for naval construction in the early 20th century.
