Neptune

===Description===
This ship was intended to be the lead ship of a class of three. Further improvements on the following two ships, however, earned them their own class designation, and they entered the annals as the Colossus class. Neptune brought several new approaches to the construction of dreadnoughts and was the first ship to employ superfiring turrets in the Royal Navy, as she was the first to use asymmetric wing turrets in order to achieve a ten round broadside. She was also the first ship to employ the then-new system of director gun-control. Neptune was commissioned in January 1911.
