There were exactly 104 dreadnought battleships existing during WWI; named after HMS Dreadnought which was launched in 1906. Prior to 1906, battleships are referred to as Pre-Dreadnoughts. The first two Japanese Dreadnoughts are officially referred to as Semi Dreadnoughts, but they were clearly dreadnoughts as they had a uniform big gun 12" armament and turbine engines. I count them here as Dreadnoughts, because they should be.

HMS Belfast is moored in London because it is a museum ship and many thousands of visitors to London can visit the ship there, down to all its nooks and crannies, and see how life aboard a battlehip was during the War years. I've been there myself and highly recommend a visit. Since most tourist coming to visit Britain come to London, it makes sense to moor it there instead of somewhere else where it would attract much less visitors.
Is there a crew list for HMS Storwort - flower class ship. J Merchant
