Colossus-class battleship (1910)

The ''Colossus'' class of two battleships - and of the British Royal Navy were among the first battleships following the original of 1906. Originally intended to be part of the , the two ships had thicker armour and other differences from , and so ''Neptune'' is traditionally left as its own class. They were the last gunned dreadnought battleships built for the Royal Navy, and were followed by the first "super-dreadnoughts", the s with guns.
==Design==
In designing this class, their Lordships of the Admiralty finally took note of the vulnerability of British capital ships in view of the general move to guns by the German navy. Thus the main belt reverted to the thickness of ''Dreadnought'', with the unfortunate corollary of necessitating a reduction in internal protection to compensate. The design was also influenced by the American s ability to mount a ten-gun broadside. To save 50 tons of topweight, the mainmast was suppressed. Besides the weight, the mainmast was considered to be of limited value. Meanwhile ''Dreadnought''s major flaw of positioning the foremast just behind the fore funnel was inexplicably repeated. In the ''Colossus'' class, this situation was aggravated by the far greater power of the boiler installation served by the funnel.
Machinery was for the first time divided into three compartments instead of two. This was thought to provide resistance to flooding to balance the loss of screening bulkheads. Machinery was otherwise identical to that fitted previously, except apparently the new internal arrangements allowed the center engine room to operate independently during cruising conditions to conserve fuel.
Main armament remained the same as ''Neptune'', except the stagger of the wing turrets was reduced to conserve deck space, allowing the forward superstructure to be lengthened and the layout of the secondary armament to be improved.
