The Mighty HMS HOOD 1918-1941

However, the Hood suffered from one major flaw -- she did not have the same amount of armour as the Bismarck. She was one of four Admiral-class battlecruisers ordered in mid-1916 under the Emergency War Programme. Construction of Hood began at the John Brown & Company shipyards in Clydebank, Scotland, on 1 September 1916. She was launched on 22 August 1918 by the widow of Rear-Admiral Sir Horace Hood a great-great-grandson of the famous Lord Hood for whom the ship was named and who was killed while commanding the 3rd Battlecruiser Squadron and flying his flag in HMS Invincible - one of the three battlecruisers which blew-up at the Battle of Jutland. After fitting out and trials, she was commissioned on 15 May 1920, under Captain Wilfred Tomkinson, C.B. and became flagship of the British Atlantic Fleet's Battle Cruiser Squadron.

At 05.52 AM on the 24th May 1941 Hood opened fire on Bismarck.Two minutes later,DKM Bismarck responded to Hood's gunfire and the Battle of Denmark Strait began. At 06.00, a gigantic explosion with a thunderous flame ripped the Hood into two and Hood dissappeared. In less than ten minutes of battle, Hood was lost.Only 3 men survived and more than 1400 died aboard the battlecruiser. Hood was very powerful, fast and beatiful ship. She had 8 X 38 cm. main guns and a top speed of 31 knots but her armor was not as thick as a battleship armor.When Bismarck's heavy 38 cm. shells hit and penetrated her citadel armor and detonated inside an ammunition store, this battlecruiser' s end came quickly. Within 1-2 minutes, the massive 48.360 ton battlecruiser sunk due to a thunderous explosion. But the British people never forgot their brave battlecruiser. (Less)
