520    The late 19th century saw an unparalleled revolution in 
       warship development as the Victorian navy found itself 
       grappling with intense technical change to ensure its 
       survival in the modern theater. From the wooden 
       battleships of the 1800s, naval architecture underwent 
       great change to produce a very different form of capital 
       ship, which would have a huge impact and change naval 
       design forever. The dreadnought was constructed of steel, 
       wholly driven by steam power, and carried its rifled 
       ordnance in armored turrets operated by hydraulics. 
       Electrics, mechanical computers, mines, and torpedo 
       weapons were also utilized to create an immensely powerful
       fighting ship the likes of which had never been seen 
       before. This illustrated history reveals the process 
       involved in that most rapid development, which in such a 
       short time totally altered the naval forces of Britain and
       by degree all of the world’s navies as well.
