The 1907 fleet balance still favors Britain

The year-end comparison combines new construction with the older battlefleet rather than treating dreadnoughts in isolation. Britain holds one dreadnought in service, seven more in production, and thirty-nine pre-dreadnoughts. Germany and the United States each pursue four new ships, while Brazil adds two British-built vessels. The United States still has numerous pre-dreadnoughts under construction, whereas Germany's new construction is shifting more decisively toward dreadnoughts. France and Italy have not yet entered the dreadnought race despite Cuniberti's influential ideas. The transition remains uneven across the world's fleets in 1907.
