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.
Britain built 29 ships, Germany built 17. So that makes 46

During World War I, Austria-Hungary had a naval fleet that consisted of approximately 30 major warships, including dreadnoughts, pre-dreadnoughts, and armored cruisers. The Austro-Hungarian Navy was primarily tasked with protecting the Adriatic Sea and supporting operations in the Mediterranean. However, it was significantly smaller and less effective compared to the navies of the major Allied powers. After the war, the fleet was largely dismantled, and many ships were ceded to the victors.
The worlds most powerful navy was the British Royal Navy. The Kaiser built a huge modern fleet to rival the RN. This was an arms race. Dreadnought was a class of battleship.
