	Nelson History
		Jan 1934 - As Nelson steamed slowly out of Portsmouth, she drifted to starboard away from the narrow channel and went aground on the shoal known as Hamilton Bank.
		The convoy was escorted by the old Battle-ship HMS Ramillies, however, and in accordance with his orders Lutjens broke off contact, despite the fact that the captain of Scharnhorst had offered to draw off the escort and thus give Gneisenau the opportunity to annihilate the convoy.
		The Nelson crew member on watch shouted out a few unsavoury comments about the abilities of the 383 and was subsequently court martialled for directing such comments at a more senior officer (the captain of the 383).

		The visit of the Royal Naval Museum culminates in the 'Battle of Trafalgar' room, where Admiral Nelson's life is retraced and where the Battle is re-created with very realistic and emotional sound and motion effects.

		Fair enough, it is a bit iffy comparing a 1927 design to 1943-44, however, the Nelson class (albeit lacking AAA due to war cost burdens and lack of real threat in area of op.)has a close armament fit to that of its younger bretheren.
		Nelson: 9 16inch, 12 6inch, 6 4.7inchAA (omitting smaller guns) vs Iowa: 9 16inch, 20 5inch (omitting as above smaller guns).
		oldbutnotwise RE:Iowas 8/25/2004 8:44:21 AM the armour on the rodney and nelson was actaully thicker than the iowas it was concentrated aound the guns, what would have a been the main difference is the way the amour was made and the layout - the iowas had a huge advantage here.

	British 16"/45 (40.6 cm) Mark I
		When those ships were cancelled as a result of the Washington Naval Limitation Treaty of 1922, the guns and turrets already on order were redesigned slightly and then used on the only two British battleships built in the 1920s, HMS Nelson and HMS Rodney.
		As a result, these guns proved to be only marginally better in terms of armor penetration than the previous 15"/42 (38.1 cm) Mark I and much less satisfactory than those older guns in terms of accuracy and barrel life.
		Nevertheless, it should be noted that these guns on Rodney proved to be far more reliable than did the new 14" (35.6 cm) guns on HMS King George V and HMS Prince of Wales during the two battles with the German battleship Bismarck.
