>every Battleship is a Nelson?
During the interwar period when tonnage/resources were limited, most major navies were looked at the all-forward gun designs. France and Britain went ahead with theirs. Outside of stuff planned or scrapped on the slipway: Japan said "Fuck it" and did Yamato, while the US found balance in the North Carolina. Though some of the concepts for the first US fast battleships were pretty far out there.
