In 1845, explorer Sir John Franklin set sail from England with two ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, in search of a Northwest Passage across what is now Canada's Arctic. The ships and crews vanished and dozens of search expeditions set sail to try to find them.... A second breakthrough happened in September 2016, when HMS Terror was found in Terror Bay, further north.

As a former gunnery officer, Fisher revolutionized battleship design with the first all-big-gun ship, the HMS Dreadnought. Fisher was a firm believer in two things, the first being that speed was as good a form of protection as armor. His second belief was in the overwhelming power of large-caliber naval guns, and he firmly held that a single, devastating hit would decide most capital ship engagements. These two premises led to the development of the battlecruiser and to the rapid increase in gun sizes with each generation of ships. Envisioned as a sort of "super armored cruiser, "the type was designed to scout for the battlefleet without fear from enemy cruisers, yet was fast enough to escape an enemy battleship. They were to be capable of running down any existing cruiser and destroying it, thus protecting British supply lines to her overseas empire.

A 20th century capital ship combining high speed, adequate protection, and a main armament comprising large guns of uniform calibre.

CONT

The dreadnought was the predominant type of battleship of the 20th century. Modelled after the revolutionary HMS Dreadnought of 1906, dreadnoughts were distinguished from previous battleships, known as pre-dreadnoughts, by an "all-big-gun" armament.

OBS

The term "dreadnought" gradually dropped from use after World War I, as the pre-dreadnoughts and the first generations of dreadnoughts were scrapped. However, all battleships built since then shared the characteristics of the dreadnought.

In an holonic manufacturing system(HMS), key elements such as machines, work centers, plants, parts, products, persons, departments, or divisions have autonomous and cooperative properties. These elements are called "holons", a word coined by combining "holos"(the whole) and "on"(a particle)... In an HMS, each holon's activities are determined through the cooperation with other holons, as opposed to being determined by a centralized mechanism. An HMS could therefore enjoy high agility, which is an important characteristic for future manufacturing systems.
