The Battleship That Changed Everything: HMS Dreadnought

HM Dockyard Portsmouth - February 10th, 1906 and a massive hull slides down the ways to the hooting and blasting of steam whistles. Her name was HMS Dreadnought and when she was introduced Dreadnought really did live up to her name - she was an absolutely enormous step forward and even the newest classes of British warship like HMS Lord Nelson were made to look lumbering and positively ancient. It sparked a craze across the globe - a moment so utterly striking that warships made before that point became simply known as pre-Dreadnoughts. What was it about this mighty ship that inspired so much change - and how did her design result in one of the fiercest arms races in history? Warship Designs - the sister-channel to Oceanliner Designs - explores the design, construction, engineering and operation of history’s greatest machines and vessels– from battleships like Bismarck and HMS King George V to aircraft carriers like USS Gerald R. Ford and IJN Akagi. Join researcher Mike Brady as he tells the stories behind some of history's most famous machines!
