HMS Hood

HMS Hood was a British interwar and World War II battle cruiser.
It was built in 1918 and put into service two years later.
It was 262.3 meters long. The cruiser's main artillery armament consisted of eight BL Mk I guns, caliber 381 mm.
In the interwar period, the cruiser was the largest ship in the world and the showpiece of the Royal Navy. After the outbreak of World War II and the defeat of France, he was transferred to Gibraltar, where he joined Unit H.
On May 21, 1941 he set out on his last voyage, accompanied by the battleship "Prince of Wales". Three days later, British ships collided in the Danish strait with the German battleship Bismarck and the accompanying heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. After a short artillery duel over a long distance, the Bismarck's well-aimed salvo caused an internal explosion in the stern of the Hood, which completely destroyed the ship. Of the 1,418 crew members, only three sailors were rescued. The sinking of the "HOOD" caused a huge shock in Great Britain.
