'The Mighty Hood', as she became known, was launched in 1918 to
much public acclaim. She was a magnificent ship: 860ft long and
displacing 42,100 tons, Hood was one of the fastest capital ships
in the world. Hood's peacetime role took her on goodwill visits
around the world. When war came in 1939, however, after 21 years
without a major refit the Hood was in no shape to face Germany's
modern, better armoured battleships. In action with the Bismarck on
24 May 1941, she exploded and sank with the loss of all but three
of her crew. Roger Chesneau's book investigates this tragic story,
providing a lively mix of technical data and historical narrative.
