Background: The Rodney battleship was one of two Nelson-class battleships built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1920s. Commissioned in 1928, it served with the Atlantic and Home Fleets during peacetime and sometimes acted as the main ship when its sister ship, Nelson, was being refitted. Early in World War II, Rodney hunted German commerce raiders, participated in the Norwegian Campaign, and escorted convoys across the Atlantic. In mid-1941, Rodney played a crucial role in sinking the German battleship Bismarck.
After a brief refit in the U.S., Rodney escorted convoys to Malta and supported Operation Torch in late 1942. In 1943, it provided cover for the invasions of Sicily (Operation Husky) and Italy (Operation Baytown). During the Normandy landings in June 1944, Rodney offered naval artillery fire support and participated in offensives near Caen, France. Later that year, it escorted a convoy to the Soviet Union across the Arctic. Due to frequent use and insufficient refits, Rodney was in poor condition and placed in reserve at the end of 1945, eventually being scrapped in 1948.
