Could any modern industry produce armor plates large enough for a dreadnought?
Short answerPossibly, with further work: Sweden is the favored candidate in this assessment, and South Korea is also suggested.
NotesMaking dreadnought armor would require facilities capable of producing very large plates as well as suitable steel. In this 2021 assessment, Sweden is considered the likeliest candidate because it already makes high-quality steel and large ship plates. South Korea is also suggested as a possibility. The answer allows for further work to establish the capability and doubts that the United States would lead such a restart.
