	I have an incredibly detailed, four-inch lead model of a
battleship which is identified only as "Nelson." I'd appreciate some
basic information about the ship, if anyone is knowing and willing, as
I'm clueless even as to its nationality.

	The ship is of a fairly strange design, with the entire
superstructure being on the aft-half of the ship, and is very heavily
armored and with quite an impressive and varied display of guns. Why,
even its guns have guns! (The number three turret has six AA guns on
top.)

	However, if I'm only parading my naval innocence and copious
amounts of information are available about this ship, then just a
reference or two would be appreciated.

	Thanks, in advance.

	Regards,
	tom.
