HMS Dreadnought (1905) was a British battleship of a radically new fast, "all-big-gun" design, urged by Admiral "Jacky" Fisher. By having the speed to pick her engagements, and firepower greater than any other vessel of the time, she triggered a European arms race, since she made obsolete every other battleship, even British ones being built at the same time.[1]
