Bellerophon Class Battleship
The Bellerophon class was a class of three dreadnought battleships that were built in the United Kingdom prior to World War I, and served in the Royal Navy during the war. The Bellerophons were near carbon copies of the previous HMS Dreadnought, with the exception of a second tripod mast. The lead ship, HMS Bellerophon, was laid down on the same day of Dreadnought's final completion, which was also built at Portsmouth Dockyard.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“The enemy are no match for us in a fair fight.... The young men ... of the upper class are kind-hearted, good-natured fellows, who are unfit as possible for the business they are in. They have courage but no endurance, enterprise, or energy. The lower class are cowardly, cunning, and lazy. The height of their ambition is to shoot a Yankee from some place of safety.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
