HMS Rodney - Blasting Bismarck and Shore Targets

One of my longest videos to date, this one. HMS Rodney, the second of the Nelson-class battleships, was a ship with a long career. A career that was, especially in comparison to other battleships of her vintage, fairly quiet. This is not to say she didn't see combat. Even ignoring the obvious, with Bismarck, Rodney did see combat. However, it was largely mundane and not particularly flashy work. As such, she is largely remembered for the engagement with Bismarck and maybe an unfortunate incident with a sheep. A shame, because Rodney has some interesting things to her name. Hence the length of this video.
