Chapter ยท 2:17:03-2:17:24

From Dreadnought to Vanguard

Vanguard, Britain's last battleship, closes an era that began with HMS Dreadnought.

Notes

Vanguard gives the talk a deliberate historical frame. The Royal Navy introduced the ship that gave the era its name and also completed one of its last expressions. The sequence runs from early all-big-gun experiments to a final post-war battleship, with design evolution, industrial capacity, and strategic purpose holding the account together.
