Perhaps you're ignoring the Dunkerque-class of 1937-38, but the following battleships entered service in 1940; KGV, Littorio, Vittorio Veneto and Richelieu (albeit rushed).In 1940 the Nelson and the Rodney were the worlds Newest Battleships, (counting the German Twins S & G as battlecruisers)
If you value accuracy at all, you need to say:
For the first few months of 1940, excluding the Dunkerque-class (insert arbitrary reason here) the Nelson and the Rodney were the worlds Newest Battleships, (counting the German Twins S & G as battlecruisers)
