3. In my grade 12 history class we were talking about dreadnoughts
My teacher asked if any of us knew what a dreadnought is and responded "isn't that hair like Bob Marley had?"

5. An excellent book on the subject:
Dreadnought: Britain, Germany, and the Coming of the Great War, by Robert K. Massie. I need to dig this out and read it again.

7. They were the arms race of their day
And the tensions that built up around who had how many of them helped pave the way toward WWI.
