She was laid down in 1922, launched in 1925 and commissioned in 1927. The 216.4-metre-long Nelson had a full displacement of 38,000 tons and a maximum speed of approximately 23 to 24 knots. Her main armament consisted of nine 406 mm guns in three triple turrets positioned forward, supplemented by twelve 152 mm guns, six 120 mm guns and 24 40 mm anti-aircraft guns.
