HMS Dreadnought, a revolutionary battleship that played a significant role in Naval history, was launched on February 10, 1906. The launch of HMS Dreadnought marked a milestone in naval technology and strategy. It introduced a new class of battleship characterized by an "all-big-gun" armament, featuring a main battery of large-caliber naval guns, and it utilized steam turbine propulsion.

HMS Dreadnought's design rendered existing battleships obsolete, triggering a naval arms race among major powers to develop similar vessels. The term "dreadnought" subsequently became synonymous with this new type of battleship.

The launch of HMS Dreadnought had profound implications for naval warfare, influencing the design and construction of battleships worldwide. It set a new standard for naval power and contributed to the modernization of fleets during the early 20th century.
