About the Warship:
Commissioned in 1927, HMS Nelson was one of only two Nelson-class battleships, built with treaty-imposed weight limits while maintaining heavy firepower and protection. Her all-forward gun configuration gave her a distinct profile and allowed for thicker armor elsewhere on the hull. She played a major role in convoy escort, fleet battles, and shore bombardments, supporting landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Normandy. Damaged by mines and torpedoes during the war, she remained a resilient warship until her decommissioning in 1948.
