super-dreadnought
Giant armored warship
A super-dreadnought was a type of battleship that emerged in the early twentieth century, surpassing the original dreadnought class in size, armor, and firepower.
These warships typically featured larger-caliber guns and improved propulsion systems, representing the pinnacle of naval power before aircraft carriers rendered battleships obsolete.
The term reflects the naval arms race of the era, when nations competed to build ever more formidable capital ships.
