H.M.S. "NELSON"
Battleship,  Nelson  Class
This ship and the Rodney were designed to
Treaty limits and were completed in 1927.
They have certain peculiar features which
place them in a class by themselves. The
straight high freeboard and exceptionally
long fore deck ensure good seaworthiness and
allow the main armament and most vulner-
able parts to be well protected. The builders
were Armstrongs (Nelson) and Cammell
Laird (Rodney). The displacements are
respectively 33,950 and 33,900 tons; each
has a speed of 23 knots, and a complement
of over 1,300. The main armament consists
of nine 16-inch guns in three turrets, with
many smaller guns. Two 24-5-inch submerged
torpedo tubes are fitted and aircraft are also
carried. The steering gear, which is of unusual
design, enables the rudder to be swung over
in 30 secs. when the ship is at full speed.
