II was announced by the British ad.
miralty OH Junes1 that the old battles
ship Dreadnaught first OF famous
class, was to be broken up. The ad'
mlralty has sold the once mighty YES
sell which blocked all the kalser's
naval ambitions, together with over
100 other obsolete battleships, cruisers,
monitors, destroyers and torpedo
boats, says Current History
Launched on Februarys2g 1906, with
her ten 12.lnch guns, her complete
nrmored belt and her speed Of 81
knots, she not only made the rest
OF the British fleet obsolete, but also
the rapidly growing fleet on which the
Germans were building their hopes.
The Dreadnaught meant that the
Kiel canal had TO be widened, the
locks enlarged and the docks rebuilt.
German time aud money that might
have been spent on constructive work
were wasted on mere alterations.
Though the design was varied, every
capital ship laid down by every coun.
try since then has been built on the
all.blg.gun model Of the Dreadnaught,
! The new battleship type, initiated by
the tate Lord Fisher. was a stroke OF
genius. a's'
