What removing Nelson's torpedoes could buy

If the Nelson-class battleships had omitted their torpedoes, where could the freed displacement and internal space have gone?

An original-design change could favor armor or machinery, while a later removal might create room for anti-aircraft ammunition and safer internal arrangements.

Removing the Nelson-class torpedoes during the original design could have released weight for armour or machinery. More armour is considered a likely use, alongside the hope of avoiding some of the compromises made to save weight. A removal in the mid to late 1930s would raise different priorities. The deep internal space could potentially become anti-aircraft ammunition storage, while the saved displacement supported additional anti-aircraft armament.
