You have to look at all the lines that start with a similar time-stamp to determine the error in your code. See in post #2 where the first set of errors I quoted all have the same opening time-stamp ([1710427.791]). You have to look at all the lines in Database.log that have a same time-stamp in order to determine which messages go together and therefore what the problem is.

In addition to the syntax error in table Units you were also missing this in table <Types>
Code:
<Row Type="TRAIT_CIVILIZATION_UNIT_ENGLISH_DREADNOUGHT" Kind="KIND_TRAIT" />
The changes shown make the unit appear properly everywhere except the civilization/leader selection screen and it only does not show there because your mod has no code to make it appear there.
Whether or not the proper animation shows is a different issue. I did not test for that, and I don't have the expertise to fix issues with unit-animations anyway.
Thank you for fixing that for me. It now works and shows up in the game. Now I can build the unit but unfortunately it is showing up as a warrior unit and not a Battleship. I did try and copy and past the battleship entry from artdef in the original game files and then change it at the end to my unit name ( ENGLISH_DREADNOUGHT) but I still get a warrior animation. Another user on another thread even gave me a copy of the battleship artdef code to make sure it is correct but no luck. Here is my artdef file contents:
