These battleships, constructed later than many of the earlier British and German dreadnoughts, were considerably ahead in some aspects of design, especially of both the French and Italian navies, and were constructed with Marconi wireless rooms as well as anti-aircraft armaments.
Ovi bojni brodovi, konstruirani kasnije od mnogih ranijih britanskih i njemačkih dreadnoughta, bili su značajno ispred u nekim aspektima dizajna, posebice u odnosu na francuske i talijanske mornarice, te su imali Marconijeve bežične sobe kao i protuzračno naoružanje.
