Background

About the ship

One of the most formidable British Navy warships during the interwar period, Rodney featured a distinctive layout, with her three main battery turrets concentrated on her bow. The battleship had quite an eventful service history. She participated in military operations in the Atlantic, Arctic, North Sea, and Mediterranean during World War II. Rodney also played a major part in sinking battleship Bismarck in May 1941 and significantly contributed to the success of Allied landings in Normandy in June 1944.
