Along with Rodney, the only sister ship, Nelson was built to the constraints of the Washington Naval Treaty. In order to pack in the 9 16" guns in three turrets all were located forward of the bridge and the pair were very distinctive and very successful. It was of course Rodney that assisted KGV in the destruction of the Bismark.
