The original HMS Dreadnought of 1905 had a displacement of over 18,000 tons which made it a large ship for the time, but its length was comparable to a destroyer of today. Other countries began building their own dreadnoughts, many of them larger and more imposing. Spain, an empire in decline, built the smallest dreadnoughts, but any of the dreadnoughts would be dwarfed by a World War 2 battleship.
The dreadnought battleship was not invented by a single individual but was developed by the British Royal Navy. The first true dreadnought, HMS Dreadnought, was launched in 1906 and designed by Sir John Arbuthnot Fisher, who played a significant role in its conception. This revolutionary ship featured an all-big-gun armament and steam turbine propulsion, setting a new standard for naval warfare. The dreadnought class ultimately transformed naval power and design in the early 20th century.
It referred to the battleships of the early 1900's. These massive war machines were pretty much invincible and "feared nothing," in otherwords, they were in 'dread of nought.' They were armed with large-caliber guns in turrets. The name alludes to HMS Dreadnought, a ship launched by Britain in 1906. A dreadnought was a British name for an large ironclad, steam-powered warship with a lot of big guns on it. Later the term was changed to battleship. A dreadnought is type of battleship, built after 1906, that utilized an "all-big-gun" arrangement. Dreadnoughts usually only had eight or more, 12 inch guns, where pre-Dreadnought battleships usually only carried four 12 inc guns, and an assortment of smaller guns. One good example of this new type of battle ship was the HMS Tiger.
