⚓ Captain, we want to hear from you! ⚓

One of the best things about Dread Not! is the incredible variety of warships available from the Great War era. From mighty dreadnoughts and battlecruisers to cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and even armed merchant ships, there's something for every naval enthusiast.

If you could command any warship from the First World War, what would it be and why?

Would you choose a famous vessel like HMS Warspite, SMS Derfflinger, or HMS Tiger? Or perhaps an underappreciated cruiser, destroyer, or pre-dreadnought?

Tell us your choice in the comments below and let's see which ships are the community favourites!
