Dreadnought
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Dreadnoughts are some of the greatest warships in the Dwarf Navy. [1a]
Although somewhat resembling the much smaller Ironclads, Dreadnoughts are much more powerful with foot thick armour and a powerful engine that makes it fast for its size with a paddle wheel at the rear and one on each side. Dual boilers mean that the ship is extremely difficult to disable. [1a]
History
It is said that entire Pirate Fleets have been destroyed by Dreadnoughts operating in the Black Gulf and off Sartosa.[1a]
Weapons and Equipment
A Dreadnought has more guns than a squadron of Monitors which are mounted in steam powered turrets giving it the ability to bring guns to bear on all sides. [1a]
