[edit] Significance

Dreadnought changed battleship design so much, all similar ships were called dreadnoughts. When Britain commissioned her first nuclear submarine, in recognition of how things changed with her in service, she was named Dreadnought. Yet Furious, which put BBs in eclipse as surely as Dreadnought, didn't get that honor. Wonder why...? Trekphiler 15:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 5½ inch guns

Two five and a half inch guns (nos 38 and 42) from HMS Furious were deployed in the Faroe Islands during WWII. But I do not know when they were removed from the ship, so I don't know where to place this information in the article. Abu ari 15:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
