Well, impressive as it is, dreadnoughts range from 400 ft - 600 + ft long.

So, the upper range options are still larger than this 590 ft yacht.

True. But nothing truly mind-blowing.

And remember, the term "dreadnought" blankets later ships also.

In the world of the stupendously wealthy, status symbols count for a lot so Roman Abramovich may be perturbed by the announcement that he is no longer the owner of the world’s biggest superyacht.

The Russian billionaire had previously topped the list with his 163.5-metre-long vessel Eclipse, but the magazine Yachts France has now confirmed that he has been usurped by Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. President of the UAE, he has been revealed as the owner of the 180-metre-long Azzam.

Built by German construction company Lürssen Yachts in Bremen, Azzam came to public attention when it was launched in April but little information about the hulking structure and what its sprawling interior contains has been made available. Abramovich’s Eclipse has 25 guest cabins, a dance hall, two swimming pools and its own mini-submarine capable of submerging 50 metres. Yachts France has claimed that Azzam features six bridges and a 550-sq-metre lounge, in addition to a vast number of suites and other expected lavish touches.

Having an estimated construction cost of more than £400m, Azzam is a surprisingly fast vessel despite its size. It has a reported 94,000 horsepower engine and should be able to travel at around 30 knots. Whether the yacht is deployed to sail the world’s oceans or will remain docked and on display as another UAE status symbol remains unknown, but it is likely that visitors to the Abu Dhabi segment of the 2015 Volvo Ocean Race will be able to see the yacht for themselves at that time.

do u have any idea how long is 500 feet ? its 50 stories.
imagine u take a lift up to condo. normally how high is a condo? around 20-30 stories high?
well this yacht is twice the length/height of an average condo.
or in other words, its about the length/height of the aveage tower in KL. think of menara ambank or public bank.
