HMS HOOD 
The HMS HOOD's keel was laid down in 1915 and construction
was not completed until 1920. She was the most powerful warship of her day and
her displacement of 41,200 tons made her the heaviest capital ship in the world
for the next twenty years.
In September 1940, the Hood spent the
winter of 1940-41 patroling the northern waters around Iceland and watching over
any attempted break out by German Navy's largest ships. But in May 1941 battleships
Bismarck and Prince Eugen managed to get through the patrols. The Hood and the
brand new battleship the "Prince of Wales"were dispatched to intercept
and destroy the German ships before they could wreak havoc on the British convoy
routes.
On May 24th, The Bismarck was spotted. The Hood opened fire
at 05:52 at a range of 25,000 yards. The Bismarck at once replied and on her third
salvo, she hit the Hood close to the main mast, setting her on fire. At 05:55
the British ship began to turn broadside onto the Germans to enable all guns to
open fire. As they did so Bismarck fifth salvo struck Hood with devastating force.
A thousand foot high explosion tore her apart and she split in two sinking in
less than two minutes. There were only three survivors from her crew of 1,415.
