Royal Navy ship naming owns because it's a bunch of stuff like HMS Terror and Vengeance and then you get stuff like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Pickle_(1800)

It's way more interesting than the American's naming scheme at least

HMS Dreadnaught didn’t just cause a frenzy in the navies across the world and provoking an arms’ race against Germany, she did so in style. Goddamn Dreadnaught is a killer name and honestly nothing tops it IMO.

Agreed, where did the word come from?

Where did the whole 'the left is actually anti-Semitic' thing come from, it's happening a bit over here in Canada and the US as well (noticeably with bernie but that failed pretty spectacularly for obvious reasons)
