>why were they retarded?
For their time they weren't. There was a brief period where armor technology had leapfrogged ahead of gun technology and even when guns had caught up a bit the effective ranges and rate of fire were so poor that ramming was still seen as a feasible tactic.
Considering that ramming was a key part of victory of the major naval engagements of the 19th century i.e. see the Battle of Lissa, then its understandable why they'd think having a ram bow as an offensive backup would be a good idea.

Brits were definitely putting something in their tea other than tealeaves considering the other whacky projects they had like genocide most of Europe with anthrax or setting the sea on fire. Shame they went broke as I would have loved to see even an attempt to arm a battleship with rocket assisted tallboys as was proposed.

Imagine witnessing the fleet exercises they did in the 20's. That would have been a sight to see!
