AFAIR types like that were made for chasers so thats why all turrets are in front of superstructure.

edit: cut'n'paste from here: (http://www.warships1.com/BRbb14_Nelson_hist1.htm) "...Firing of X turret created damaged to the bridge and limits on the firing arcs on this turret were imposed in peace time".

I found that was a useful feature in the SSI game "Fighting Steel", but I thought that the fwd. arrangement was another one of those London Treaty designs to help economize on weight. Like the 4-gun turrents on the French battleships, etc.

Angus,

I originally had posted:

"HMS Nelson (or HMS Rodney)"

Then I noticed the single anchor, and examined the pictures in my book and it seems that Rodney had two anchors on each side, Nelson had one.
