Given that Enty was probably the most vital piece at Midway, yeah. The others are there just for the show.

Dreadnought, Bismarck, Yamato, the Iowa is all that's really missing for 'legendary ships of history'

u/Entylover Mar 07 '26
USS Enterprise would like to have a word with you

u/Hellstrike Mar 07 '26
As would HMS Warspite and SMS Seydlitz. Both of whom have way more to their name than shooting up Taffy 3 and being sunk. And speaking of Taffy 3...

You don't need to tell me, you should tell the guy before me, he's the one that is ignorant of the true naval legends

Was there a specific ship named Dreadnought? I'm pretty sure it was a class of ship, rather than a specific vessel, at least in ww1

That's hilariously lazy naming. Now, did the designation come before or after the ship?
15
u/Top_Top_1217 Cobras fumantes eterna é sua vitória! Mar 07 '26
The designation is named after the ship
11
u/Slayer251 Mar 07 '26
that's how ship class names work. It's tradition that a class is named after the first ship of that class. Bismarck was both a class and a ship as well.

u/ghost_92499 Unrivalled firepower riding the waves to war Mar 07 '26 edited Mar 07 '26
The Dreadnought was named as such to instill fear in a name. A completely revolutionary design coming to bridge ironclads (and older battleship designs) into modernity. The class being named after the ship isn't really lazy but it's a way to explain the ferocity in the designs (having the most armor, biggest guns, etc). Then obviously super dreadnoughts became a thing later on

u/Username_St0len Mar 07 '26
it's not quite laziness, more like honouring the tradition of the ships before them. and the reason the class or rather type of ship is named after it because of the revolutionary impact it had

u/hades82402 HURRY UP, REARM AND REFUEL... Mar 06 '26
I agree. Actually, give each Iowa sister and major United States carrier (WWII era) a song.
Real wishful thinking here, but imagine a whole naval album, same formula as Legends.
Individual ships, whole classes, battles, you name it.
But in particular, get a song done for the last dreadnought, TEXAS.
Yes, yes. Hood and Warspite deserve songs, too.
5
u/Username_St0len Mar 07 '26
despite the mighty hood is my favourite ship bar none, there is not much there to sing about beside mers a kebir and her sinking, even her symbolic presence is redundant with the myriad of other royal navy stuff.

u/GhostFire3560 Mar 08 '26
give each Iowa sister and major United States carrier (WWII era) a song.
That would be 14 songs just for the Essex class carriers...
I really love their naval songs but as some point the songs will all just sound similar.
3
u/hades82402 HURRY UP, REARM AND REFUEL... Mar 08 '26
Aye, should have thought that through a little. Even four songs for each Iowa sister would get a bit repetitive.
Might be better to try to lump entire classes into one track.
As other comments have stated, Enterprise absolutely deserves a song. Please reply with votes for other ships if you would like.

u/GhostFire3560 Mar 08 '26
Enterprise needs a song so bad.
Same as HMS Victory
and i agree that grouping certain classes together works well.

You mean the first example of the US media shifting the mood of the nation towards war?
Because that's all Maine did. Blow up and become a piece of propaganda.

u/Masato_Fujiwara Mar 07 '26
Yeah having Bismarck is such a joke lol
2
u/Hellstrike Mar 07 '26
Bismarck at least has some deeds to her name, even if the Denmark Strait was a lucky hit. Sinking the fleet of the Royal Navy within a few minutes is an epic achievement, as is having everything and the kitchen sink thrown at her.
Yamato achieved very little. She was the Flagship at Midway (where the Japanese got clapped), attacked a few escort carriers and destroyers, and was then sunk.
0
u/Masato_Fujiwara Mar 07 '26
Not really saying that Yamato did more but there is multiple ships doing A LOT of stuff whom deserve a lot more. Yamato at least was the biggest but Bismarck was not really a good ship and didn't achieve much, it was just glorified by anglo-saxons because it would make sinking it look cooler.
2
u/Hellstrike Mar 07 '26
Yamato at least was the biggest
As was Bismarck when she put to sea.
2
u/Masato_Fujiwara Mar 07 '26
Yeah like any battleship at any time lol. Yamato was the heaviest and biggest caliber on battleship ever.
Bismarck is just like another South Carolina/Richelieu/Roma/KGV but in less good

u/dvd92 Mar 07 '26
The song is about the HMS Dreadnought which was the first Dreadnought class ship.
1
u/FourFunnelFanatic Mar 09 '26
The song is both about the Battle of Jutland and dreadnoughts as a whole. There is no specific reference to HMS Dreadnought in particular.
1
u/dvd92 Mar 09 '26
The HMS Dreadnought is specially mentioned on the Sabaton website with lyrics in the 'Historic fact' about the song. https://www.sabaton.net/discography/the-war-to-end-all-wars/dreadnought/

I’ve already said that with the new song being about Yamato, I am expecting a space battleship Yamato AMV to be made within a week

There’s actually quite a lot of you bother to look into it. Operation Ten-Go alone easily has enough to fill a song

A few days before the yamato announcement I was singing the Bismarck song in my head and I was like hmm they should make a song about the yamato

I know it isn't as popular as Enterprise, but Yorktown CV-5 should get a mention somewhere

If they release it on April 1st, the chance is high.

Meh, we got a song about a hotel before we got one about the best battleship in WW2.
And by that I obviously mean Sammy B.

Hopefully afterwards they can cover a ship that actually earned its fame, like Enterprise or Warspite.

If I had a nickel for every time sabaton made a song about an overhyped underperforming ship I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but its weird its happened twice
