Historical description of HMS Rodney

HMS Rodney was one of two Nelson-class battleships built for the Royal Navy in the 1920s. The ship was named after Admiral George Rodney. She served during World War II (period: 1939–1945), taking part in numerous combat operations in the Atlantic. The most famous episode involving HMS Rodney was the battle against the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, when, thanks to her powerful 406 mm guns, the British contributed to the sinking of the legendary Kriegsmarine vessel.
