What is the HMS Dreadnought?
English ship Dreadnought (1573) 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."
HMS Diamond (D34) HMS "Diamond" is the third ship of the Type 45 or "Daring"-class air-defence destroyers built for the Royal Navy. She was launched in 2007, completed her contractor's sea trials in July 2010 and arrived at her base port on 22 September 2010. "Diamond" was commissioned in a traditional ceremony on 6 May 2011, and formally entered service on 12 July 2011.
