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.</p><p> </p></div> |
| This battleship featured an innovative arrangement designed under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. The ship was armed with 406mm main guns that were concentrated in three turrets in the ship's bow. She was the first battleship in the Royal Navy to be armored according to the "all or nothing" concept.<br><br>

| |Performance=<!-- write text about performance in battles below -->
| | ===Pros=== |
| {{AA Sidebar Warning Insert}}
| | * Great main battery accuracy. |
| HMS ''Nelson'' is a Tier VII premium British battleship. She was the second premium ship available that was purchased using Free XP{{FXP}} instead of {{doubloons}} (the first being ''[[Missouri]]''). She is no longer available for purchase.
| | * Powerful HE shells. |
| | * Enhanced Repair Party consumable available. |
|
| |
|
| ''Nelson'' features a main battery of 16-inch guns in a 3x3 configuration with all three turrets forward of the superstructure. Unlike ''[[Izumo]]'', and like ''[[Lenin]]'', ''Nelson''’s turrets all face forward, allowing her to shift fire to either side very easily when bow on. ''Nelson'' features decent — if low — penetration values on her armor-piercing rounds. This makes them highly effective against enemy cruisers due to their short fuse arming time, but renders them largely ineffective against more armored battleships at range. However, ''Nelson'' also has some of the best high explosive shells available to any battleship, with very high penetration and fire chance values. She is able to utilize her HE rounds to easily burn enemy ships, as well as stripping off AA mounts and damaging other modules.
| | ===Cons=== |
| | * Weak armor protection. |
| | * Poor maneuverability. |
| | * Large vulnerable citadel. |
|
| |
|
| ''Nelson'' also has a unique Repair Party consumable that is similar to those found on ''[[Lion]]'', ''[[Conqueror]]'' and Tier VIII+ British cruisers, enabling her to heal as much as 40% of her total health pool in one use. As such, she is extremely durable with regards to fire and flooding damage. However, ''Nelson'' has a rather high citadel, meaning that she will occasionally take citadel damage even while angled towards the enemy (especially through her 25mm bow armor), and is a very easy target when broadside at medium or close range. Her torpedo protection system is also quite weak, and with her slow speed and high detection, she lacks the ability to control engagements the way faster ships can. ''Nelson''’s secondaries are not all that great, and her AA is best described as "adequate" and fit only for self defense due to its weak long-range aura.
| |
|
| |
|
| Overall, ''Nelson'' is a strong battleship, with excellent firepower for her tier and a high resilience to fire damage balanced by her high citadel, slow speed, and weak torpedo protection.

| '''Upgrade Slot 1''' provides two useful options. For players who wish, for whatever reason, to increase the durability of the AA and secondary batteries, [[Ship:Upgrades#Auxiliary_Armaments_Modification.C2.A01|Auxiliary Armaments Modification 1]] should be mounted. However, '''Main Armaments Modification 1''' is usually the better choice.

| '''Upgrade Slot 3''' provides options for specialization. For increased gunnery accuracy, '''Aiming Systems Modification 1''' should be equipped. For players who wish to increase Nelson's Abysmal long-range AA abilities, [[Ship:Upgrades#AA_Guns_Modification.C2.A02|AA Guns Modification 2]] or should be mounted.

| '''Upgrade Slot 4''' provides two useful options. For increased survivability, '''Damage Control System Modification 2''' is the better choice.

| ''Nelson''’s suggested Commander Skills are mostly to be expected, and are highly typical for those found on most Battleships. As she doesn't have particularly excellent qualities, such as the secondary armaments found on ''[[Scharnhorst]]'' and ''[[Gneisenau]]'' or the anti aircraft abilities of ''[[Hood]]'', it is recommended to invest in survivability skills instead.

| As a battleship, ''Nelson'' can mount eight signal flags simultaneously. Captains should mount India Delta flags ({{India Delta|Size=18px}}) to increase the amount of hit points the repair party consumable can recover. November Foxtrot flags ({{November Foxtrot|Size=18px}}) are recommended to reduce the cooldown timers on the ship’s consumables. Captains should also mount Sierra Mike flags ({{Sierra Mike|Size=18px}}) to help mitigate the ship’s slow top speed.

| With the culmination of the First World War, the great powers of the time quickly realized that another naval arms race was commencing, and understanding the effect the first one had at dragging the world into a global war, politicians were not too keen on repeating that mistake. Ratified in 1922, the Washington Naval Treaty imposed limitations on sizes of navies, and restrictions upon the specifications of new battleships under design; two most important being tonnage no greater than 35,000 tonnes and caliber no greater than 16-inches. The Royal Navy needed new ships for it’s post-war era, so along with the recently commissioned HMS ''[[Hood]]'', the Navy decided to build a pair of new battleships under treaty regulations: the ''Nelson''-class battleships.
| |
|
| |
|
| The story beings with a man named Sir Eustace Tennyson D’Eyncourt, the Director of Naval Construction for the Royal Navy. A veteran of the trade, Tennyson was originally given the task of planning for the ''G3''-class and ''N3''-class, but with their subsequent rejection, and his posting to the treaty battleship project, he sought to incorporate as much as he could from the aforementioned designs to save time. Tennyson envisioned the ''G3''-class battlecruisers to be tougher then the rest; using the “all-or-nothing” armor scheme championed by the Americans to shield vital components like magazines and propulsion machinery. And many boilers there were – 20 in all – to propel this machine to 32 knots. Tennyson also considered an armament of nine 16-inch guns in three triple turrets: two forward and one amidships. Accordingly, the ''N3''-class of battleships were similar to the ''G3''-class but in which they trade speed for firepower, Tennyson imagine these vessels to mount 18-inch guns in three triple turrets.
| | <gallery> |
| | | </gallery> |
| With the restrictions of the treaty in mind, Tennyson chose to use the armament of the G3-class, but altering the layout so that all main battery would be forward of the superstructure; secondary battery would be to the rear to balance out. Finalization of the design would not happen till 1922 as designers opted to reduce armoring, remove boilers, and decrease length in the name of saving tonnage.
| | </div>[[File:Nelson7.jpg|left|thumb]]</div></div> |
| | |
| Armour was an important factor for the ''Nelson''-class, as Tennyson learned the lessons of Jutland but conversely had a weight limitation too keep in mind. He opted to use the “all-or-nothing” scheme; 14-inches of belt would run from A turret in the front to secondary magazines in the rear. Top deck was properly armored as well, to mitigate plunging fire. Furthermore, torpedo bulges were an integral part of the design, and not just added on as an afterthought. Like ''Hood''’s, they were multilayered to spread and absorb the shock of impact.
| |
| | |
| Aforementioned, designers chose to reduce the number of boilers on board to save weight. In the end, the ''Nelson''-class had only 8 boilers powering their two turbines. Interestingly, the fire rooms – which housed the boilers – were placed behind the engine rooms. The propulsion machinery could only manage a meager 46,000 shaft horsepower, which could move the vessel no more than 23 knots.
| |
| | |
| The most significant aspect about the ''Nelson''-class was its firepower. This class was the first to mount 16-inch guns in triple turrets. The other two major naval powers at the time – [[Colorado|United States]] and [[Nagato|Japan]] – were less keen on placing 16-inch guns in triple turrets as the would be too heavy and cumbersome. There was truth to this: the 16-inch guns used by the ''Nelson''-class were far less reliable than the 15-inch guns used on other British dreadnoughts. Although, by 1939, many of the complications that arose from mounting large guns in triple were resolved. Furthermore, such an arrangement allowed one to maximize firepower in the smallest amount of space; ideal for the treaty era. In fact, despite being a 14-year old battleship by the start of the Second World War, there was no question to the potency of ''Nelson''’s firepower; her broadside was fearsome.
| |
| | |
| HMS ''Nelson'' (Pennant number: 28) was laid down on 28 December 1922 by the Armstrong-Whitworth Company at Hebburn, near the River Tyne and Launched 3 September 1925.

| | |
| ===Service History===
| |
| Completed and commissioned on the 15th of August 1927, HMS ''Nelson'' joined the British Home Fleet as the most powerful battleship in the world; being the first ship completed to be armed with 9 16” guns in three triple turrets in a unique all-forward layout that made Nelson and her sister-ship HMS ''Rodney'' instantly recognizable. Serving as the flagship of the Home Fleet, ''Nelson'' saw little action during the pre-war period, with her crew participating in the Invergordon Mutiny following harsh cuts to her sailor’s pay in 1931. Modified little throughout the 1930’s, she was to be extensively modernized in the early 1940’s, but this never came to be following the breakout of the War in Europe in 1939.
| |
| | |
| Retaining her position as the flagship of the Home Fleet, ''Nelson''’s first major action was sailing north-west to Icelandic waters following news that a German raiding force may be waiting in the area to attack trade routes once War truly broke out on the 1st of September 1939. The order to commence hostilities didn’t come to the Royal Navy until the 3rd, and ''Nelson''’s limited top speed became apparent in her failures to find the supposed German raiding force in the North Sea. Nevertheless, she led the Home Fleet operating from Scapa Flow and Loch Ewe for the rest of 1939. On the 30th of October, ''Nelson'' in the company of ''Rodney'' and HMS ''[[Hood]]'' and their escorting destroyers were attacked by a line of 4 U-boats. U-56 fired three torpedoes at ''Nelson'', all three hit, but miraculously two broke apart on hitting and the third failed to explode. ''Nelson'' was constantly deployed to intercept German raiders, but was never quite able to find them herself. The Royal Navy was under pressure, with German panzerschiffe ''[[Admiral Graf Spee]]'' wreaking havoc in the South Atlantic and panzerschiffe ''Deutschland'' operating in Icelandic waters. She continued searching for the German raiders until mid-January 1940, when she detached from the Home Fleet for repairs and refits.
| |
| | |
| ''Nelson'' had to be moved further north while being refitted, however, due to the Luftwaffe bombing and laying magnetic mines near Portsmouth where she was anchored, so she sailed north to Clyde in early June 1940, returning to the Home Fleet by the 9th. On the 29th of June, she was ordered to sail to Gibraltar, before this order was cancelled two days later and she returned to the Home Fleet in Scapa Flow, where she remained until early September that year. On 6 September, she escorted carrier HMS ''Furious'' on ''Operation DF'' off the cost of Norway, returning to the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow on the 7th. She sailed from Scapa to Rosyth mid-September, where she remained until November. She returned to Scapa again on 5 November, the following day she sortied to the Icelandic Channel to hopefully intercept the German panzerschiffe ''Admiral Scheer'' on her way back to Germany, but ''Scheer'' managed to evade the sizeable British fleet sent to sink her. ''Nelson'' returned to Scapa by mid-November, returning to Rosyth by the 29th, before sailing to Scapa again where she remained until mid-January 1941.
| |
| | |
| Operating out of Scapa Flow, ''Nelson'' spent the first quarter of 1941 patrolling the waters between Iceland and Denmark, poised to intercept any attempted breakout by German ships. Come late March, she sailed south to join Convoy WS 7, headed for South Africa via Freetown in modern-day Sierra Leone. ''Nelson'' reached South Africa by mid-April, where she remained until the 13th of May where she set sail for St. Helena, with orders to search for the German commerce raider ''Atlantis''. On the night of the 18th, ''Atlantis'' sited two darkened vessels approaching at speed, which were quickly identified as warships and ''Atlantis'' moved slowly out of their path. These ships were ''Nelson'' and accompanying carrier HMS ''Eagle'', both vessels passed within 7,000 meters of her without either vessel spotting her. ''Nelson'' slowly made her way up the west African coast, reaching Gibraltar by the 26th. She was deployed here to prevent German battleship ''[[Bismarck]]'', which had sunk ''[[Hood]]'' two days earlier, from breaking into the Mediterranean and joining up with the Italian navy. However, the next day Nelson was signaled that ''[[Bismarck]]'' had been sunk. Her orders changed several times for the next few hours, before she was finally ordered to escort a troop convoy that had set sail from Freetown bound for England. She detached from this convoy on the 4th of June, however, for an allied armed merchant vessel had spotted an unidentified vessel that attempted to outrun her. ''Nelson'' moved to intercept this ship, that turned out to be the German supply ship ''Gonzenheim''. ''Gonzenheim'' attempted to outrun ''Nelson'', until she halted when ''Nelson'' fired a 6” warning round across her bow. ''Gonzenheim'' began to slow and lower life boats, causing Nelson to fire two more warning rounds at ''Gonzenheim'', and ''Gonzenheim'' was scuttled by her crew before ''Nelson''’s accompanying cruiser HMS ''Neptune'' could reach her. ''Nelson'' returned to her convoy, reaching Londonderry by the 6th and then returning to Scapa to rejoin the Home Fleet.
| |
| | |
| ''Nelson'' set sail for the Mediterranean in July, escorting a convoy bound for besieged Malta, joining up with Force H stationed at Gibraltar by mid-July. Nelson exercised heavily in the western Mediterranean, covering convoys bound for Malta and North Africa, coming under attack from Italian torpedo boats and aircraft several times and evading several large sorties by the Italian Regia Marina. ''Nelson'' was hit by an aerial torpedo on 27 September, immediately dropping her speed to 18 knots, but she remained with the convoy. She later had to reduce speed to 15 knots to reduce flooding, and she dropped to the rear of her convoy. ''Nelson''’s speed and steering continued to deteriorate, and by the 28th she broke off from the convoy with destroyer escorts for temporary repairs in Gibraltar, so she could survive the return trip to the UK for proper repairs. She remained at Gibraltar from early October to early November, returning to the UK on the 22nd and entering drydocks on the 24th. She remained in dry dock until mid-April 1942.
| |
| | |
| Following the completion of her repairs, she returned to the Home Fleet by 22 April, joining in on fleet exercises out of Scapa Flow. By June she was back on convoy escort duty, ferrying troops to Freetown with her sister ''Rodney''. She re-entered the Mediterranean, and was chosen to be the flagship of the fleet for ''Operation Pedestal''; a major convoy resupply of the Island of Malta. ''Nelson'' continued operating in the Mediterranean until she was recalled to Scapa, arriving on the 28th of August and remaining there until the 20th of September. Come October, she returned to the Mediterranean as part of the re-organized Force H to carry out ''Operation Torch'', to liberate North Africa then under the control of Vichy France. Following the immense success of ''Operation Torch'', ''Nelson'', alongside Force H, spent the rest of the year patrolling between Gibraltar and Mers-el-Kébir.
| |
| | |
| ''Nelson'' and Force H remained in the western Mediterranean until May 1943, where ''Nelson detached'' from Force H and returned to England for a short refit. While at Scapa Flow, ''Nelson'' alongside ''Rodney'', HMS ''Valiant'' and HMS ''[[Warspite]]'' carried out bombardment exercises in preparation for ''Operation Husky'' – the Allied invasion of Sicily. She returned to Gibraltar by 23 June, later sailing to Mers-el-Kébir and then Algiers by early July. On 6 July, Force H sailed from Algiers to take part in ''Operation Husky''. She spent the first half of July patrolling off eastern Sicily, giving naval fire support in support of Allied landing forces as they seized Sicily. On the 20th ''Nelson'' returned to Malta, where she remained until the 30th of August when she sailed for the coast of Calabria to carry out ''Operation Hammer''. In September she supported ''Operation Avalanche'', bombarding Axis positions around Salerno as Allied forces invaded the Italian Mainland. Nelson remained in Italian waters until 26 October. The Italian navy had surrendered a month before, and ''Nelson''’s guns were needed elsewhere. She returned to the UK by the 6th, entering dry dock for refits. She was undocked on 1 December, moving to Scapa Flow where she remained until 1944.
| |
| | |
| Come January 1944, ''Nelson'' was running out of enemies. The Italians had surrendered their capital ships when they signed the Armistice of Cassibile signed on ''Nelson''’s own deck, ''[[Scharnhorst]]'' sank in December 1943, ''[[Gneisenau]]'' was permanently out of action, and ''[[Tirpitz]]'' was locked up in Norwegian fjords. Until June 1944, ''Nelson'' rotated between the ports of Scapa, Clyde, and Rosyth, as the Allies prepared for ''Operation Overlord'': the Allied invasion of Normandy. ''Nelson'' moved to Milford Haven on 4 June, on standby for bombardment duties off the Normandy beachheads. ''Nelson'' sailed for northern France on the 11th, anchoring off Caen and beginning her bombardment. ''Nelson'' spent seven days off the beachhead, firing nearly 1,000 16-inch shells at German positions along the shores. By the 18th, she returned to Portsmouth for re-ammunition, having to dock shortly after hitting two acoustic mines for minor repairs. It was decided that ''Nelson'' would sail for the USA for some more extensive retrofitting; ''Nelson'' was nominated for service in the Indian Ocean and required extensive improvement of her crew facilities and ventilation systems. She departed Portsmouth on 23 June, arriving at Delaware Bay on 4 July. The next day, she arrived at the Philadelphia Navy Yard where she would remain for the rest of 1944.
| |
| | |
| Come 1945, her repairs were nearly completed and she sailed for Portsmouth by 18 January 1945, arriving in Portsmouth for the final stages of her refit by the 28th. She remained in drydocks at Portsmouth until mid-April, sailing for Spithead to receive ammunition and supplies, before setting sail for Malta, via Gibraltar. She reached Malta by 5 May, beginning extensive exercises for future endeavors against the Japanese. She set sail from Malta on 14 June, sailing across the western Indian Ocean via the Suez Canal, arriving in Sri Lanka on the 10th of July and joining the East Indies Fleet. She began assisting in mine sweeping duties of the area for ''Operation Livery'', to clear the way for allied troops to land in Japanese-held Thailand and Malaya, the last offensive action of the Eastern Fleet before the Japanese surrendered. On the 15th of August, ''Nelson'' was anchored at Sri Lanka when she received news of the Japanese surrender, and that the war was over. ''Nelson''’s duties weren’t quite over, however, as she continued mine sweeping to clear the way for merchant vessels and supply ships. On the 27th, ''Nelson'' set sail for Penang, and the following day the Japanese forces occupying Penang climbed on board ''Nelson'' and signed the surrender of the local Japanese Commanders. ''Nelson'' remained at Penang for a few more days, as the Japanese willingly cooperated with the Allied officers and provided information relative to the extensive minefields in the South-East Asia region. ''Nelson'' later sailed for Singapore, arriving on 12 September, where the Japanese Forces in South-East Asia officially surrendered on ''Nelson''’s decks.
| |
| | |
| Following the surrender at Singapore, ''Nelson'' slowly made her way back to England, visiting Sri Lanka, Suez, Malta and Gibraltar before finally reaching Portsmouth by 17 November 1945. Deployed as flagship of the Training Battleship Squadron in the Home Fleet 1946, she carried out training duties including the Home Fleet 1946 Spring Cruise, before being relieved by carrier HMS ''Victorious'' on 22 September 1947. Having served the Royal Navy for two decades, ''Nelson'' was nevertheless an outdated vessel and lacked the speed to operate with a modern navy. ''Nelson'' was paid off and reduced to reserve status, later being placed on the disposal list. Following bombing target trials on her hulk, she was sold for scrap and disappeared from the world before the end of 1949, her name later carried on to the name of the barracks and support services site based in Portsmouth.
