Warlord Games - Victory at Sea - HMS Hood
The "Mighty Hood" was for a time the largest and most famous ship in the world, pride of the Royal Navy and a symbol of British sea power.

During the Battle of Denmark Strait in 1941 she was sunk by theĀ BismarckĀ after accurate shelling from the German ship caused a massive explosion on theĀ HoodĀ which sank within minutes, leaving only three survivors ā certainly one of the more spectacular deaths of any capital ship.
