About the ship
During the "battleship vacation," the countries that had signed the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 were not allowed to build new battleships. Great Britain, however, was allowed to build two such ships, given that the U.S. and Japan had two each. HMS Nelson entered service in 1927 as the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet. During World War II, she participated in patrol missions and search operations, as well as the hunt for Bismarck. In 1941, she was transferred to the Mediterranean Sea, where the ship escorted Maltese convoys and covered the landing of Allied troops in North Africa, Sicily, and later in Normandy.
