  2. A nice Irish coffee (whiskey added for those who aren't aware of the meaning) and a cigar while sitting on the covered front porch on a room temperature morning and looking at the lake makes for a good morning drydock

  3. As far as a type that could have been built earlier, other than the fact there wasn't anything that needed that big of a response there's no real reason someone couldn't have built a ship similar to Orion/Bretagne/New York at around the same time as dreadnought. There was certainly liners and stuff bigger it's not like you couldn't make a power plant that big and 13.5 and larger guns had already been a thing in the ironclad era, they just chose to gu up in number of 12 in turrets in a gradual expansion instead of going straight there for practical and logistical reasons
