H.M.S. Dreadnought was a turret battleship of the Royal Navy completed in 1879.
There was, of course, a modern battleship called Dreadnought launched in 1906.
Construction & Service
In November 1880, the ship was being made reday to receive a second-class torpedo boat, which would reside on her hurricane deck in place of her second 37-foot pinnace. Her derrick was to be replaced by a steel one to bear the added weight of the T.B.. At the same time, she was being equipped with electrical firing circuits.[6]
Dreadnought commissioned at Portsmouth on 14 October, 1884.[7]
In August, 1894, Dreadnought was relieved as guard ship at Cowes by H.M.S. Australia.[8] She was to proceed to Chatham to be paid out of commission, an allocation of £16,000 having been approved for refitting her for service at Queensferry.[9] She finally paid off on 5 September.[10]
in 1895, she was to receive thirteen new boilers.[11]
She was brought to full complement to participate in the Annual Manoeuvres of 1896 under the command of Anson Schomberg.[12][13][14]
