That's why i'm doing this on them rather then on Ships of the Line or something, the list would be endless
I heard somewhere that Dreadnoughts were considered so important in WWI that they were kept close to home, so they barely saw any fighting, which was what they were designed to do
I believe the only decisive engagements between 1st class Steam Warships were the Battle of Tsushima and the Battle of Lissa (But then, the Austrian fleet rammed the Italian ships, So this doesn't really count)
BTW The
Huascar thing was in 1879
