IIRC I read the same thing (in this book), that the Nelson had sacrificed some sea-keeping ability for a heavier forward throw weight. It was one of the reasons she couldn't chase down the Bismarck without something else slowing the target down.
The book I just finished reading claims that the Hood was well known for being deficient in deck armor, and both Churchill and the Admiralty, along with most BB Captains were aware of the issue. The Hood had been designed and laid down before the Battle of Jutland's lessons had been learned. IIRC the Hood only had about 2 inches of deck armor, while the Bismark had the equivalent of 10 inches if you include the various layers. I need to go back and verify my source. After the Hood was sunk, Churchill was grilled in Parliament on why the Hood was not retrofitted with additional deck armor in the late 30's while it was in drydock for a major refitting. Apparently its neither cheap nor easy to add another 5000 tons of armor.
