It's an interesting irony that the final class of pre-dreadnought that the Royal Navy commissioned, the Lord Nelson class, had better overall protection than Dreadnought. It's interesting how while the USN was more innovative in battleships, the Royal Navy was more innovative in aircraft carriers, though they often made less use of these carrier innovations than the USN did.
