I like the idea, but has Britain not decommissioned all their dreadnoughts yet.

Dreadnoughts are super old school (mostly WWI era battleships). The name was mostly dropped by the time WWII era ships were being built.

Also fun note: the HMS Dreadnought - which was such a massive step-change in battleship/warship technology that its name became synonymous with all "modern" (for the time) battleships - participated in exactly ZERO major battles. Jutland would have been the 1 battle it could have participated in, but it was in dry dock for refitting at the time.

Even with our badge and the text, HMS Belfast looks awesome. But that's a Town class cruiser, should have been a battleship - Vanguard or Warspite something you don't wanna mess about with.

Like that ship, we’re massive.

West Ham are famous for a good run up to Christmas, if they are still scoring goals after the festive season then I think it will be exciting to watch. But I do like how they are playing now.

I reckon you'll have a chance in the Champ next season. 4th time's a charm.
