Some battleships were destined to live a quiet life, even at war. HMS Anson is a classic example. In spite of the life or death struggle Britain was involved in, this ship never once fired her guns in anger. She spent her entire career on distant cover, be it aircraft carriers or convoys.

Does this mean she isn't worth looking at? No. Anson gave valuable service, even if it was quiet. That's worth remembering.
