Worst post-dreadaught battleship, easily.

>hey guys, running away is for pussies. Why do we have a turret on the back?
> It is better for weight distribution, and it's more versatile. Besides, we can still fire all of them in a broadside.
> Ha, broadsides, Napoleonic wars are over chap. Just put all of the guns in the front, so we can put them all to use in the chase, as the bloody frogs and huns run away again.

And so, they made a design with all the guns in the front, and somehow they forgot to raise the rear turret above the others, So now they can fire in less directions then before, firing the third turret will shatter all glass on the bridge due to proximity, AND THEY STILL CAN ONLY FIRE ALL TURRETS IN A BROADSIDE!

It was a result of the Washington Naval Treaty limiting tonnage.

Nelson's weird layout was the result of trying to shrink the citadel to keep weight down. The citadel on battleships generally stretches between all the turrets, so by putting them all together they could keep weight down while still getting the layout and protection level they wanted.
