England building more dreadnoughts according to the Dutch magazine Marineblad dated 1907-1908 no. 7

HMS Dreadnought

Bellerophon-class

An item referred to the Standard reporting that in England 3 battleships of the enlarged Dreadnought design (1) were to be laid down. It was earlier hoped that a decision of the Congress at The Hague made the building of a third ship not necessary.

Note
1. Bellerophon-class consisting of the HMS Bellerophon (laid down 3 December 1906), Superb (launched 6 February 1907) and Temeraire (launched 1 January 1907), preceded by the HMS Dreadnought and succeeded by the t. Vincent-class.
