Orion class

===Description===
This class of four ships began a new age in dreadnought construction. They are considerably larger, better protected and heavier armed than any ship preceding them in any navy, and they also were the first in the Royal Navy to drop the wing turret system. The five main battery turrets are all in the centre line, allowing for the elimination of one turret while maintaining a ten round broadside. All four ships entered fleet service in 1911 and 1912.
