HMS Hood - Pride of the Royal Navy (Hardcover)

For over twenty years the battlecruiser HMS 'Hood' toured the world
as the most iconic warship in the Royal Navy. Unmatched in her
beauty and charisma, 'Hood' is one of history's greatest warships.
During the twilight years of the British Empire the 'Hood 'toured
the world showing the flag as a symbol of British power. As the
Royal Navy's show-ship, 'Hood' came to command a special place in
the hearts and minds of the British public. Such was the regard for
HMS 'Hood' that her destruction in the Denmark Strait on the
morning of 24 May 1941 by the German battleship 'Bismarck' created
dismay across the world. Within minutes of entering battle 'the
Mighty Hood' as she was affectionately known, was destroyed by a
catastrophic explosion which had echoes of Jutland a quarter of a
century earlier. Out of a crew of a crew of 1,418, only 3 survived.
The sinking of HMS 'Hood' was the single largest disaster ever
sustained by the Royal Navy. This book charts the life and death of
this legendary battlecruiser in both peace and war from her early
origins, through the interwar years, to her destruction.
