HMS Rodney (29)
HMS ''Rodney'' (pennant number 29) was one of two s built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1920s. The ship was named after Admiral Lord Rodney. The ''Nelson''s were unique in British battleship construction, being the only ships to carry a main armament of guns, and the only ones to carry all the main armament forward of the superstructure. As her superstructure was located aft of midships like RN fleet oilers whose names carried the ...'ol' suffix, she was sometimes derisively referred to as "Rodnol". Commissioned in 1927, ''Rodney'' served extensively in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean during World War II.
''Rodney'' played a major role in the sinking of the in May 1941. During and after Operation Torch and the Normandy landings, ''Rodney'' participated in several coastal bombardments. In poor condition from extremely heavy use and lack of refits, she was scrapped in 1948.
==Design==
Known as 'Queen Anne's Mansions' on account of the bridge structure bearing some resemblance to the well-known London block of flats, or 'Cherry Tree Class' because they were designed as larger ships but 'cut down' by the Washington Treaty of 1922, the design was limited to 35,000 tons and showed certain compromises. To accommodate 16-inch main guns in three turrets, all of the turrets were placed forward and the vessel's speed was reduced and maximum armour was limited to vital areas. Even with the design limitations forced on the designers by the treaty, ''Rodney'' and ''Nelson'' were regarded as the most powerful battleships afloat until the new generation of all big gun ships was launched in 1936.
