British Battleship Nelson

The HMS Nelson was launched as the Nelson-class type ship on September 3, 1925 and was put into service in 1927. Like her sister ship, the HMS Rodney, the Nelson had three 40.6 cm triple gun turrets, which were placed in the well-protected front half of the ship (bow / central ship).
She was temporarily the flagship of the Royal Navy and initially served mostly together with her sister ship HMS Rodney. During the Second World War, the Nelson belonged to the Homefleet and was involved in the search for various German warships.
From 1941 she supported the Allied landings in North Africa and later the landings in Sicily. 
During the landing in Normandy in the summer of 1944, she ran into two mines.
After her repair, she was deployed in the Pacific, then transferred to the reserve and scrapped in 1949.
