File:Inverkeithing Rodney Revenge Nelson.png

(This May 1949 photo at Inverkeithing, Scotland shows battleships HMS Rodney, HMS Revenge, and HMS Nelson. HMS Rodney is alongside a special scrapping quay. Of these three HMS Revenge was obsolete and HMS Rodney was in poor mechanical condition by the end of WWII. But sister ship HMS Nelson had just received an expensive major refit in 1944, and still had many years of possible service. Budget cuts forced its decommissioning in 1947 and scrapping two years later.)
