Not sure about that...the USS Alabama is still right here in Mobile Bay...or is it not considered a ‘dreadnaught’?

The Alabama was commissioned in 1942. The term "Dreadnaught" had longsince been dropped, being superseded by the term "Battleship".

Still a fine example of a WW2-era battleship.

The Texas is the last floating dreadnaught in the world.

Period.

She survived WWI, and WWII. Earning MANY battle E’s in her duty.
