There was a wonderful uniqueness to those two ships.
I have never thought they were unattractive ships. Not lovely like Hood. But, like the U.S. South Dakota's, business like and powerful looking.
They look really badass when pointing all 9 "16 guns at the target. Menacing machine!
It’s too bad she wasn’t able to become a museum ship.
elegant ship.
I like their look of menace. That and those bloody big guns.
The Nelson class is scary
The hull reminds me of a Victorian design but with a raised freeboard
да, английские корабли имели особый узнаваемый дизайн
As large as a modern type 45. But at least she could leave a dockyard.
Far larger than the type 45, at least in tonnage
The Yanks saw the 16 inch guns x9 and copied our homework. So that means the Iowas were just Yankee ripoffs
Ugly, slow and obsolete in 1945
Wow why would you call this battleship ugly and slow
I mean were they tho? Yeah Ugly and somewhat slow, but they definitely were not obsolete. They were fast enough for their jobs and the only time their speed became a limiting factor was when Rodney attempted to chase Gneisenau. In reality they were definitely not obsolete, Rodney defeated Bismark and would have defeated both Scharnhorst and Gneisenau too had they not ran. Yes all BBs were obsolete in 1945 in truth but I find this argument odd.
Ugly, for sure. Ugliest battleship made since the french pre-d:s.
Too slow to catch anything, unless someone else had crippled it first. But, true smashers if they happened to bump into some immobilized, helpless victim. Or a shore bombardment.
Obsolete even before the WW2, without a doubt, yes.
Battleships as an type were obsolete in 1945
@@king_br0k yes, and even before that mostly. Very useful in shore bombardments etc, but totally exposed without air cover, as it was painfully learned with Force Z. And later on, allied pacific forces had no need to deploy 12 battleships against Yamato's suicide mission, just sent the air groups from fleet carriers. Sure the battleships were there as back up anyway.
There's a model of HMS Nelson in Newcastle-upon-Tyne 's Discovery Museum. Probably thirty feet long. It is, even as a model, awesome. The thing oozes power and menace. It might be fanciful, but I always think that the central tower is based on the keep of Northumberland' s Warkworth Castle (looki it up)
Built down walker naval yard 🇬🇧
The central tower was known as Queen Anne Mansions
Well hello there, beautiful.
C'était vraiment un bâtiment magnifique. Quelle démonstration de puissance incroyable.
Rodney and Nelson were sea slugs, but they had the greatest hitting power of any British battleship.
Russ G May have been slower than the fast battleships but apparently Rodney made over 25 knots in the chase for Bismarck despite being enroute for overhaul
They were fast enough for the time period they were laid-down/built.
The Nelson class just looked like the complete deadly beast package. Rodney turned Bismarc into a smouldering wreck. People keep nattering about how Bismarc sank Hood but if it was from a shell from one of the two ships firing on her it was a fluke. Hood sailed for over 20yrs and was a Battlecruiser from Ww1 and Bismarc was a brand new Battleship that sank before its paint had chance to dry.
Also Rodney was the only Battleship ever to have fired a Torpedo and strike a target with in hitting Bismarck
@@stuartkeen5234 And hms Nelson the only one to take three german dud torpedoes into it`s belt from point blank distance, with Winston Churchill onboard. Sir Winston avoided narrowly climbing a side of a capsizing battleship.
The most "aesthetically challenged" ships of all time...less polite individuals have referred to them as **^% ugly..
They look like something Monty Python might have come up with. But with those 9x16 inch guns they were POWERFUL ships
The shortend Hull allied to 16inch guns caused terrific damage inside the ship, which involved considerable refits
Did more damage to the Bismark though.
Deathstroke to bismark
That was Rodney not Nelson
Both ships would have looked more handsome if their sterns had not been forshortened to comply with the 1935 naval treaty. Both sadly were strange looking beasts but immensely powerful
In awe of these Brutes.... Amazing Machines of War!!!!!!!
1922 Washington naval treaty it would be.
They look perfectly fine the way they are
The original N3/G3 designs always had the cutaway stern or transom stern, plus, it helped at high speeds.
Handsome looking ship.
I think that's probably 1936.
There is no heavy anti aircraft battery of guns fitted .
Awesome
Awesome 👍
Rodnol. A deceptively effective treaty ship.
Always loves the sleekness of Rodney and Nelson.
It's not like it's 1946 by any stretch of the imagination.
Correct
