I'm fascinated with all this stuff as well, there was a great programme on TV at the Jutland 100th anniversary, which rekindled my interest. Didnt know much about it before.
Also saw a great programme about the Hunley which was a hand powered US submarine from the US Civil War, fascinating and it has been recovered and restored.
Not quite a Dreadnought but the submarine stiff is fascinating as well. Visiting the U boat pens in Lorient in France is amazing. They are indestructable and absolutely vast, and could drag a U boat from water to dry secure cover in a concrete pen in 45 minutes, including having to slide it on a set of rails.
I have been to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbour and will return again.
