Consequently she was designed within the limits of the treaty, which necessitated grouping both the main armament and control positions, and on launch- ing in 1925 she had her nine 16-inch Euns mounted in triple turrets H.MS. Nelson was senior flagship of the Home Fleet for many years before the war and in 1934 King George V sailed in her and many thousands of the public trod her decks. Until recently she was flag- ship of the battleship training squad- ron, Home Fleet, and many peace- time ratings have been trained aboard her. Although she steamed 135,000 miles and fought in every theatre of war excepting the Pacific and her crew averaged 1,600 men, not one of them was killed aboard throughout the war.
