<prompt> Qedela lo musho olandelayo: Nakuba imikhumbi yempi yangaphambi kwe-dreadnought yayisetshenziswa emhlabeni wonke, zazingekho izingxabano phakathi kwemikhumbi yempi yangaphambi kwe-dreadnought kuze kube sekupheleni kwesikhathi sokubusa kwayo. Impi Yokuqala YamaShayina namaJapane ngo-1894-95 yathonya ukuthuthukiswa kwe-pre-dreadnought, kodwa lokhu kwakuwumzabalazo phakathi kwemikhumbi yempi yaseChina nomkhumbi waseJapane owawunamakhilomitha amaningi. Impi yaseSpain neMelika ka-1898 nayo yayingahambelani, njengoba imikhumbi yaseMelika yangaphambi kwe-dreadnought yayibhekene namabhethri aseSpain ogwini eSan Juan bese kuba nebutho laseSpain lama-cruisers ahlomile kanye nabahlaseli eMpini yaseSantiago de Cuba. Kwaze kwaba yiMpi yaseRussia neJapane ka-1904-1905 lapho ama-pre-dreadnoughts ahlangana khona ngokulinganayo. Lokhu kwenzeka ezimpini ezintathu: ukunqoba kwamaRashiya ngamasu ngesikhathi seMpi yasePort Arthur ngomhlaka-8 kuya ku-9 kuFebhuwari 1904, ukwehluleka ukunquma  <response>: Impi yoLwandle Olubomvu ngo-10 Agasti 1904, kanye nokunqoba okunqumayo kweJapane eMpini yaseTsushima ngo-27 Meyi 1905. Lezi zimpi zaphenduka imibono eyayikhona yokuthi izimpi zasolwandle zaziyolwa kanjani, njengoba imikhumbi yaqala ukudubula komunye nomunye ebangeni elikhulu kakhulu kunangaphambili; abaklami bemikhumbi baqaphela ukuthi ukudubula amagobolondo aqhumayo awela emigomeni yawo ikakhulukazi avela phezulu, esikhundleni sokuvela emzileni oseduze nokuvundlile kwakuyingozi enkulu kakhulu kunalokho obekucatshangwa.
