The type of battleships introduced by the British was called the "dreadnought." Launched in 1906, HMS Dreadnought revolutionized naval warfare with its all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion, rendering earlier battleships obsolete. This design set the standard for battleship construction in the early 20th century, leading to a significant arms race among naval powers.
