nelson (warship girls r)
A battleship class character in Warship Girls R.
Nelson has orange sometimes bordering red hair pulled back into a long low ponytail which can often be missed and blue eyes. A mole sits just beneath her right eye which she keeps closed at all times. Her outfit is based on Horatio Nelson's admiral uniform. An embroidered black coat with golden epaulettes and trim sits atop a white frilled undershirt with her right sleeve rolled up to the elbow. White gloves, a red skirt and a pair of black thighhigh boots finish the outfit off. She's also personally armed with a Royal Navy officers' sword with a black grip and golden hilt. Her closed eye and rolled up sleeve are a reference to the permanent wounds suffered by Admiral Nelson.
A large portion of her machinery is located on her right side with all three of her triple 16-inch gun turrets representing the design of the Nelson-class where all main armaments were located forward of the super structure. On her left a large curved shield in the shape of a ship's stern is used as protection. There are several additional turrets of double 6-inch guns located on the inner ring of the machinery as a secondary armament with a mast in the back.
She received a remodel (post #2244658) early in the game's life. Nelson's uniform mostly remains the same but with added medals, a red and blue sash draping down from her right shoulder, black garter straps attached to her boots and she clutches onto a golden pocket watch.
The machinery is painted in green and blue camouflage. Two of her main turrets and the rear section of the machinery mounts an excessive number of single 20mm Oerlikon cannons and the central turret plays host to a 2 Pounder 8 Barrel "Pom-Pom" anti-air gun. The inner ring of equipment is removed with three of the four 6-inch turrets now located on the more ship like designed stern, better representing how these secondary batteries were positioned. The mast has also been replaced with a smokestack and the ship's conning tower with various gunnery and aircraft detecting radar.
A woman whose devotion to duty drives her to greater achievements she also endeavors to inspire those around her, England expects that every man do his duty after all.
She is based on the lead ship of the British Royal Navy's Nelson-class inter-war warship HMS Nelson named after Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson. Armed with 16-inch main guns, she was one of the Big Seven warships. Her ship index number is 8.
Her official artist is 15k.
