Didn't really want to downgrade Nelson there, the class just looks...ugly :D
However, when HMS Rodney met Bismarck, the Germans took it as a primary target. But Rodney hit first. And that hit was big, bad and knocked Bismarck's fire control out of ops.
The shell-hole is still well visible on the wreck.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
