Background
About the ship
The construction of Dreadnought revealed the obvious advantages of the ship class over squadron battleships. In 1906, funds were allocated for the construction of three new ships. Bellerophon differed from her predecessor by the large caliber of secondary guns, installed torpedo bulkheads, and modified armor. The ship entered the Home Fleet in 1909. During World War I, she was a part of the Fourth Battleship Squadron of the Grand Fleet and participated in the Battle of Jutland.
