Lord Nelson and her sister Agamemnon were the last pre-dreadnoughts built for the Royal Navy. Palmers laid her down at Jarrow in May 1905, and by the time she was finished in 1908, HMS Dreadnought had already made her type obsolete. She still hit hard, with four 12-inch guns and ten 9.2-inch guns, the heaviest secondary battery of any British battleship of her day.

She led the Channel Fleet when war broke out in 1914, then sailed for the Dardanelles in early 1915, where she shelled the Turkish forts and covered the first landings. She went on to serve as flagship of the British squadron in the Eastern Mediterranean through the end of the war, and was sold for scrap in 1920.
