It ' s to give the illusion that there is still a knee there . <| sep |> Yawn your shill is obv <| sep |> because its a cult , once youre in you never contact the outside world again <| sep |> the idea is to knock them out and then carry them away . <| sep |> I ' m going to argue that , in a way , Dreadnoughts weren ' t all that different . How so ? Yes it ' s true that the first ones represented a big jump forward in terms of powerplant , offensive and defensive capabilities . But the technology and specs of warships are always evolving . Dreadnoughts represented a jump in capability that resulted in a sort of temporary invulnerability . The name itself means fearing nothing . But this ended as soon as other nations began producing dreadnoughts of their own . As more time went by , dreadnoughtsbattleships themselves proved to be vulnerable to new threats such as submarines and aerial attacks . In this regard , dreadnoughts are just like every other ultimate weapon . Nobody stays at the top of the hill forever .
