Clumsy, with an unusual, even eye-catching silhouette, these ships can hardly be called handsome, but it was they who were considered a symbol of the sea power of Great Britain in the twenties and thirties of the last century. And not unreasonably - before the start of World War II, Nelson (HMS Nelson) and Rodney (HMS Rodney) had no equal in terms of firepower and security. Even after the advent of the next generation of battleships, they continued to remain in the first line - it was the Rodney guns that put an end to the fate of the German super battleship Bismarck.
The combat use of these ships turned out to be extremely intense - from the first days of the war they spent very little time in the bases, refuting the conventional wisdom that battleships fight by the very fact of their existence, settling in protected parking lots. "Nelson" and "Rodney" fought in all theaters: they hunted for Kriegsmarine raiders, escorted convoys in the Atlantic, the Arctic and the Mediterranean, with the fire of their guns - the most powerful in the Royal Navy - they supported the landings of the allies in North Africa, in Sicily, in Normandy, and the Nelson managed to fight in the Pacific, ending the war in Malaya. This book details the history of creation, design, service and combat use of the legendary British battleships. The edition is illustrated with exclusive COLOR projections, unique drawings and photographs of ships.
