What would happen if HMS Rodney and HMS Nelson were teleported to the present day?
Short answerBoth would probably become museum ships, ideally near their original Tyneside and Birkenhead builders.
NotesThe panel expects an immediate preservation campaign rather than scrapping for pre-nuclear steel. Nelson could return to the Tyne, where she was built, while Rodney could be displayed near Birkenhead across from Liverpool. With Britain increasing defense spending and emphasizing military identity, the political argument would more likely concern custodianship and location than whether to save them.
