Dreadnought - The King of the High Seas! - Sabaton History 114 [Official]

When the Dreadnought made its appearance in the early 20th century it was the mightiest ship the world had ever seen, making all other gunships obsolete, including the rest of its own navy. It also sparked a naval arms race around the world, as many nations built such behemoths. But what were they actually like?

So what do you think? Should (or will) Sabaton write a song about the Battle of Jutland? It was the largest naval battle of the Great War, and they've certainly covered that a lot. We know you have a zillion ideas for things they should cover in their future songs, but how might the lyrics to a Jutland song go? What might the title be even?

[@HrLBolle]

First I apologize for my ignorance. but is the USS TEXAS one of the original dreadnought design or could she be classified as a second or third generation development? If the overall basic plans have been revised during the deployment stage it would not surprise me if she deviates from the "True" original dreadnought.

[@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe]

@@HrLBolle The "original" design of Dreadnoughts were outdated already when WW1 started. HMS Dreadnought not even participated in any military combat (like battle of Jutland). The New York class (USS Texas) were an improved version of the Wyoming-class so it can count as the 2nd generation line of Dreadnougths. The USA first generation Dreadnoughts were the South Carolina-class.

[@reliantncc1864]

All post-Dreadnought battleships were dreadnoughts. Later ones were called super-dreadnoughts, which is just a type of dreadnought. Texas is a super-dreadnought, but so is North Carolina, built far later.

[@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe]

@@reliantncc1864 Nope. The last Dreadnought type was the Bismarck class. The later ships (North Carolina, Iowa, Yamato, Richelieu, etc) followed a whole new design called "fast Battleship" started with Dunkerque. Those not Dreadnoughts anymore.

[@reliantncc1864]

@@StArShIpEnTeRpRiSe nope. See how unconvincing it is to just say "nope" with no actual argument? By definition, all later battleships are dreadnoughts. Also, which of those ships you mentioned did not employ an all-big-gun layout? Oh, none of them. That's right, because they're dreadnoughts. What's especially funny about your ignorance is that Bismarck resembles those later ships much more than it resembles Dreadnought, in particular by being fast.

Dreadnought quickly became one of my top faves of the new album and I said this before, this one is the closest to being on an even level as Bismarck in terms of power and chilling but super awe because at the time nothing like this had been seen before and was very revolutionary for wartime.

[@littletimelord2755]

A video on the HMS Warspite would be awesome. For those who are unaware, Warspite is the most exceptional ship to ever see Royal Navy service, and I personally consider her to be protected by plot armor. In the battle of Jutland, she got hit a number of times, and eventually lost rudder control. Because of this, she sailed headfirst uncontrollably into the high seas fleet, drawing every German ships fire, and incidentally saving the crews of some cruisers the crucial moments they needed to escape. After having survived the fire of the entire high seas fleet, she repaired her rudder and went back into line. In ww2, she did lots. She landed the longest ranged hit in naval history on an Italian ship, she bombarded the shores of France on d day, wearing out her guns in the process. She then got them relined, and went back for more. She then ran out of ammo. At a different point, in the Mediterranean, an Italian manual torpedo was brought under her and detonated in shallow water. Having now had her keel blown out, she sank! Except the water was so shallow you wouldn’t be able to tell that she was sunk, and she was fixed. The German Fritz guided bomb, which was used on an Italian battleship as a test, and sank it, was used on Warspite. It blew a hole from the deck to through the keel, and out the bottom of the ship. Of course, being Warspite, this wasn’t too major, and she simply sailed home to have it fixed. At the end of the war, she was towed off to be scrapped, but the mighty Warspite, the most decorated ship of the Royal Navy, would not allow herself such an easy death. She broke her tow lines and ran away (without anybody on board). She eventually ran aground. She was so stuck, that all three ships that tried to pull her free sank. She was broken up on the shore, defiant to the last.

[@glenchapman3899]

Yes if there was ever a ship possessed some sort of supernatural spirit, it was definitely Warspite. The stories of the salvage attempts on after she ran aground are insane. Propellers getting tangled, vessels getting damaged. Two attempts at refloat that had very high percentage of success.............failing.

The key issue was fire control. Before 1900 battles were fought at short ranges because they could not hit anything at distance. The introduction of complex mechanical computers to enable hits at long range were what made the all big gun ship sensible.

[@Mrsoldier847]

Fun fact: the US Navy actually came up with the unified all Big Guns battery Dreadnought before the British, and even laid down the South Carolina class before the Dreadnought was laid down. However the reason we call them Dreadnoughts, and not Carolinas, is because like for 75% of their history prior to 1940, Congress wanted to punch pennies, and questioned if the South Carolina class was really necessary for the American navy to have, especially with how quickly ships where rendered obsolete. Compared to the French doctrine of Torpedo boats, which where significantly cheaper and arguably (at the time) just as effective, the South Carolinas seemed just too expensive.

[@therac197]

Actually it was the Japanese Stasuma who was the first

[@Mrsoldier847]

@@therac197 the reason the Satsuma was not considered a Dreadnought class is her original design and layout included tertiary and quantinary batteries common of pre-dreadnoughts, though she did have the unified main gun battery, the presence of the smaller calibers outside the main secondary battery placed her in the pre-dreadnought category, even if her final construction had done away with them.

[@laurencefraser]

To my recollection, the most terrifying thing about Dreadnought, in the eyes of naval planners and politicians in Europe at least, wasn't that the ship itself made everything else obsolete, though that was bad enough, it was how Fast Britain could build them. Months instead of years, and Britain could build tens of the things at once (though staggered slightly), resulting in a new one putting to sea every month or so. Previous battleships had been a case of 'two to five years to build a batch/class of two to five ships... if you had the yard capacity to work on them all at once'. Combine that with the significant advancement in capabilities Dreadnaught represented... well. You can see their reasoning. Remember, this was Britain at the height of its power, with all that that implied for its enemies (though, admittedly, a few other nations in the world had Caught Up in various ways by that point, though not yet in naval power...)

Here is an idea for a couple naval songs. A villainous sounding song about Japan's Kido Butai and a heroic sounding song about USS Enterprise.

Dreadnought leaves off on a cliffhanger because the Battle of Jutland itself was inconclusive.

[@SennaAugustus]

It wasn't that inconclusive. The German surface fleet never again went to sea to challenge the British.

[@avidficreader5040]

@@SennaAugustus Considering both sides were seeking a battle of annihilation...

Could we have part two of this explaining the battleships of the 1920s, 30s, and the end of their era during the 40s.

Not the first 'all-big gun' battleship designed isn't the Dreadnought. The Satsuma and South Carolinas were the first on paper, but Dreadnought was the first commissioned due to cheating by the British gun factories to make Dreadnought the first one. The one thing is that the South Carolina class ships had an advantage in that the Satsuma and Dreadnought did not have a better centerline design for their guns, compared to the Hexagonal gun emplacements on the Satsumas. Another thing about the Satsuma class buying British guns was that they were of a different caliber of guns, the front and aft guns were the same as in Dreadnought but the others were 5 shorter than those guns along the wing turrets.

thank you for the video. it makes more sense to me now why the kaiserreich tought to challange britith dominance of the sea. dreagnought could outclass any older ship and make them obsolete, so a big number of dreadnoughts would challange everything the british had at this time. and the naval treaty makes sense that they wanted to limit the arms race on the sea.
