[PAR] [TLE] HMS Dreadnought (1906) [SEP] HMS "Dreadnought" was a battleship built for the Royal Navy that revolutionised naval power.  Its entry into service in 1906 represented such an advance in naval technology that its name came to be associated with an entire generation of battleships, the "dreadnoughts", as well as the class of ships named after it.  The generation of ships it made obsolete became known as "pre-dreadnoughts".  Admiral Sir John "Jacky" Fisher, First Sea Lord of the Board of Admiralty, is credited as the father of "Dreadnought".  Shortly after he assumed office, he ordered design studies for a battleship armed solely with 12 in guns and a speed of 21 kn .  He convened a "Committee on Designs" to evaluate the alternative designs and to assist in the detailed design work.  One ancillary benefit of the Committee was that it would shield him and the Admiralty from political charges that they had not consulted leading experts before designing such a radically different battleship. [PAR] [TLE] English ship Dreadnought (1573) [SEP] Dreadnought was a 41-gun galleon of the Tudor navy, built by Mathew Baker and launched in 1573.  Like HMS "Dreadnought" of 1906, she was a radical innovation over contemporary ships.  When John Hawkins became Treasurer of the Navy in 1577, he had sailed all over the world, and his ideas contributed to the production of a new race-built series of galleons - of which "Dreadnought" was the second (following "Foresight" of 1570) - without the high fore- and after-castles prevalent in earlier galleons; these "marvels of marine design" could reputedly "run circles around the clumsier Spanish competition."
