Among the newly-disclosed features of the 35,000 ton battleships Nelson and Rodney are their massive steel decks, which will make them the first bomb-proof vessels afloat. Another feature is that the armour plating on the hull and gun turrets is of such a thickness as to be impenetrable under ordinary battle conditions. This photograph shows the Rodney.
