[edit] First True Dreadnought?

Opening paragraph of this article states that the class was the first "true dreadnought" for the USN. However, Dreadnought and Great White Fleet both state that the South Carolina class was the first class of USN dreadnoughts, and the same is implied in the article on the USS South Carolina (" the lead ship of her class of dreadnought battleships..."). This could use some clarification, I think. What makes the Delaware class a "true" dreadnought, or is the distinction false? croll (talk) 19:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

it means that someone inserted said phrase without knowing what he/she was talking about... A common thing around here unfortunately... it is not correct. --Tirronan (talk) 23:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
