英语词汇dreadnought的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

dreadnought. With her 10 12-inch guns, 11-inch armor belt, and 21.6-knot speed, the 17,940-ton British battleship Dread- nought outclassed any battleship on the seas and made all others virtually obsolete. Before Dreadnought’s 1906 debut, battleships commonly had four 12-inch guns and a number of smaller ones. The British built the Dreadnought in just four months, but it was three years before Germany could produce a comparable ship. The Dreadnought marked a turning point in naval military his- tory, and her name became synonymous for any big ship of comparable size. By 1916 Britain had 29 dreadnoughts, enabling her to defeat Germany in the Battle of Jutland. Indeed, by that time Britain had super-dreadnoughts like the 27,000-ton Warspite with her eight 15-inch guns and 13-inch armor belt, and the original Dreadnought did not even see service at Jutland.
