| | This map captures the atmosphere of the Torres Strait. It's located in a remote area between Australia and New Guinea, which was a key route for the Australian Navy as it sailed to Port Moresby. Japanese aircraft and submarines were frequently present in the Torres Strait, attacking land installations and hunting for Allied ships—especially early in the war. It's also home to the historic Green Hill Fort, which was originally built in the 19th century and was repurposed during World War II. This map will be playable with Tier VI ships up to superships in Random and Co-op Battles using the [[Ship:Game Modes#Arms Race|Arms Race]] and [[Ship:Game Modes#Domination|Domination]].}} |

| The ship that redefined naval warfare is up for grabs. To celebrate the 120th anniversary of the legendary HMS [[Dreadnought]], World of Warships is running a dedicated mission chain that rewards players with the Tier III battleship, a Port slot, and a 6-skill-point Commander.

| HMS [[Dreadnought]] isn't just another low-tier battleship; it represents the shift to the ‘all-big-gun’ era that made every other warship obsolete overnight. Wargaming has included this history directly into the mission requirements. To secure your bundle, you'll need to tackle a specific set of objectives that mirror the ship's legacy.

| <big>'''History of HMS Dreadnought:'''</big>
| |
| | |
| HMS [[Dreadnought]] was a Battleship laid down by the Royal Navy in 1905, which set a new world-wide standard for Battleships as well as coining the today well-known term "Dreadnought". The principle of modern Naval Combat was realized, by introducing a unified caliber for the main battery, a high speed of 21 knots, and an armor protection sufficient for its time. While at the same time not displacing more weight than what was necessary.
| |
| | |
| Being completed within 14 months, she also demonstrated that the ship-building capabilities of the United Kingdom was not to be underestimated.
| |
| | |
| While never being part of a Naval Battle, HMS Dreadnought did distinguish herself by being the only Battleship in history to sink a submarine. In 1915 she rammed the German UBoat U-25, sinking the German vessel. Following WW1 HMS Dreadnought was sold for scrap in 1920.
