Chapter 281: Saint Vincent-class Battleship_2

Thus far, the Island Nation has seven battleships, but they are all old battleships, with limited combat capabilities.

Although the Island Nation has plans to build dreadnoughts, the plan was already in place as early as 1907.

However, in order to cooperate with Russia, the United Kingdom promised to suspend aid to the Island Nation during the validity of the Anglo-Russian Agreement.

With the help of the United Kingdom, could the Island Nation independently produce dreadnoughts? The answer is negative.

In history, the Island Nation's first dreadnought, the Settsu-class battleship, was not completed until the end of March 1912, even with the help of the United Kingdom.

The second dreadnought was not completed until early July 1912, making the Island Nation one of the latest among the major powers to build dreadnoughts, aside from France.

Now, without the aid of the United Kingdom, the Island Nation's dreadnought-building plan was naturally delayed once again.
