What pre-dreadnoughts were called before Dreadnought

What were pre-dreadnought battleships called before HMS Dreadnought was built?

They were called battleships, with distinctions such as first-rate, second-rate, or coastal battleship rather than the later label pre-dreadnought.

Navies generally spoke of battleships and cruisers, often dividing each into rates that echoed Age of Sail classifications. Some smaller armored vessels were called coastal-defense ships or coastal battleships. Torpedo boats and torpedo-boat destroyers added further categories later. The term pre-dreadnought became useful only after HMS Dreadnought created a clear technological dividing line.
