At the outbreak of World War II in September 1939, NELSON was serving as flagship of the Home Fleet.

On September 29th 1943, General Dwight D Eisenhower, on behalf of the Allies, and Marshal Badoglio of Italy signed the Italian surrender agreement aboard NELSON.

In 1944, NELSON took part in the Normandy landings, subsequently transferring to the Indian Ocean to participate in the war onJapan in August and September 1945. The Japanese surrender of Malaya was signed aboard NELSON on September 3rd 1945.
