| Welcome aboard fellow pre-dreadnought enthusiasts!
In 1906, the launching of HMS Dreadnought, with her overwhelming firepower, tremendous
speed, excellent protection, ease of construction,
and low operating costs, made all existing
battleships obsolete. However, 16 of the
old-style vessels remained in service for
nearly 40 years,until the Second World War.
They continued as hulks, accommodation ships,
training vessels, and even combat units.
This site is dedicated to those units, which
stubbornly refused to fade into the sunset
simply because they were obsolete. |
