It is possible that this type of vessel has been used before by the Mondasian Cybermen as the Doctor seemed to recognise the ship in such a way as he could name it and cite its function. It is also probable that this variant of Dreadnought class ship is quite primitive and could be improved as the Cybermen were stuck in the Victorian era with limited time, space and technology to work with.

This topic might have a better name.

This should really be disambiguated somehow, as this is far from the only "Dreadnought class" in the DWU.

Talk about it here.

You may wish to consult Dreadnought for other, similarly-named pages.

A Dreadnought-class ship was a class of spaceship used to front a Cyberman invasion.

It was a massive Cyberman-shaped giant capable of walking, containing an energy weapon in its left hand and a missile launcher in its right. Inside its chest was a factory for Cyber-conversion. The mouthpiece also acted as an observation deck, where the controlling Cyber unit would be stationed. One such vessel was the CyberKing. (TV: The Next Doctor)

At least three Dreadnoughts led a full-scale Cyberman invasion of Sontar, their firepower overwhelming even the Sontarans' defences. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)
