Behind the scenes

Dreadnoughts appear in the 2007 online game Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Although the term usually describes the predominant type of battleship in the early 20th century, it can also be described as a ship of the line.

The term "dreadnought" previously appeared in Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's early screenplay draft for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, used to describe the British Royal Navy vessel H.M.S. Dauntless in the opening scenes, though was later described as a "first-rate ship-of-line" by Jack Sparrow to Captain Barbossa. However, despite the ship's design in the final cut of the film, no such classification was confirmed onscreen. The Dauntless was described as a warship in other media, such as the film's production notes, and the 2007 book Bring Me That Horizon: The Making of Pirates of the Caribbean.
