She was a warship she lived to die in battle, better to live on in tales and song then scrapped!
It's too bad her armour deficiencies were never corrected until the second world war caught up with her.thanks.
That ship about to be turned to scrap so fast lol
That was after her 140mm secondaries were removed, and replaced with twin 120mm dual purpose AA guns. Is there a date on this film?
She doesn't look like that anymore.
Neither do any of the battleships/cruisers that sailed the Atlantic during WW2
hail to the brave sailors of the hood! and the bismark!
Incredible ship, by 1940 Hood was old but still formidable, one of 5 British Battleships sunk during the war...
Damm
Bey bey hood.
She didn’t have much freeboard did she, must have gotten wet onboard in rough seas.
She sat so low in the water they called her the navies largest submarine

HMS Hood: Im the best battleship Bismarck: Imma end this mans whole career
Ah yes, this is the incredible 1:1 scale, model of HMS Hood. Includes: Working turrets/guns, props and rudder. Extremely rare, as they stopped making them 100 years ago. When your model is completed, invite the neighbors over to see it, especially if your neighbors are German, they’ll have a blast!
Oh my god! Your really funny for a massive twat!! Show some respect!!! Bell end!

Love everything about this ship except it's end.
HMS Hood had been extensively refitted prior to 1941 and, but for the 'lucky' shot of the Bismarck, could very well have given a good account of herself as a worthy adversary. Prince of Wales could likely have dealt with the German light cruiser escorting Bismarck and the entire outcome would have subsequently been assessed on a completely different basis. I fully understand the WW1 -v- WW2 ship mentality, but this was never really part of the equation here. I'm getting the words 'lucky strike'
Yeah it was a good ship until the Bismarck made it Pop the Hood
lucky my ass the germans were good sailors also
That's a nice broadside you got there. Be a shame if it got Citadel'd
That low quarterdeck, made even lower by frequent overloading of this ship, demonstrates why Royal Navy seamen referred to Hood as the world's biggest and fastest submarine! Conditions below decks in the quarters of the 'ratings' [enlisted men] were so bad that Hood had an atrocious number of TB cases. An impressive ship whenever she steamed into port anywhere in the Empire, but like any warship of the era, Hell to serve aboard for those of low rank.
and the officers too. their bunks was in the front of the ship the wettest side
Jackie Fisher's flawed concept.
I find some of the comments on this video idiotic.My great uncle was also was a stoker on the hood.He didnt stand a chance as the other 1400 crew members who died horrible deaths.And yet idiots seem to think its a funny game commenting on this video.I have read the crew of the bismark were also horrified at the speed the hood sank and only 3 survivors.They had respect for there fellow sailors even if from the enemy side.This was a fluke shot that hit the armory and the ship went up like a firework.
Pat Chamberlain answering to the comments 1st part... this is the internet ... everything is a floping joke...!
Aleksis Daniels Ekks That’s no excuse
My Grandfather was on the Bismarck and pulled the trigger that killed your granduncle. Yeahhh.
r/thathappened You are probably lying. Your grandfather was probably NEVER onboard the Hood, you are just saying that cuz you are sensitive and you cAn'T bEaR all those "immature" comments.
AndyHappyGuy lol a Redditor calls someone else sensitive. Is he not wholesome keanu chungus 100 enough for you? Grow up.
I have a model kit of this beautiful ship as well as the Bismarck and Prince Of Wales. Right now I am working on Prinz Eugen. I have also built USS Missouri, USS Arizona and HMS Warspite.
Do u have a girlfriend?
Actually I have a wife. We’ve been together for almost fifteen years and married for the last twelve.
@@CaptainColdyron222 I love the fact you replied to that asshole 2 years later and destroyed his argument. Hope y'all are doing good
@@ajay999999 you just got Bismarck‘d HARD, what was even your original point? Men can’t have girlfriends when they like ships?
Glad the wreck of H.M.S.Hood was finally found and her last surviving crew member,Ted Briggs was able to pay tribute to his shipmates before he went to join them in that great naval barracks in the sky.As far as I'm concerned, the Mighty "Ood was THE British battlewagon of the last war.
I corresponded with Briggs about the time that Bismarck was found on the bottom of the Atlantic. He was a very kind and thoughtful man that I much admired and still do.
And this was all rather graphically demonstrated in the following 3 days. Lutjens catastrophically breaking radio contact after shaking off Tovey and Wake-Walker and then having to wait for Tovey to turn up and destroy him after a Swordfish from the Ark Royal of Somerville's Force H had crippled the Bismarck.
Too much hindsight on this web page. Posters forget the pressure under which German raiding commanders operated. Damage = destruction. It could have a debilitating effect (Langsdorff 1939, and Lutjens on this voyage). The next warship coming over the horizon would always be British. Holland didn't have to duel Lutjens to the death. He had 18 (actually 17) big guns with which to do much damage and Tovey on his way. He would have been concerned about Hood's deck armour, and PoW's combat readiness.
Nevertheless, she was one of the most beautiful ships ever built.
Mmmm...that would have been the only 11 inch shell the Prinz Eugen ever fired....
Pound, Tovey and Holland had limited options. The KGV couldn't hunt on her own. The PoW was barely ready for action and the Rodney was too slow. The battlecruisers Hood and Repulse would have to join the hunt. The pairings of KGV/Repulse and Hood/PoW were logical. Holland needed to close the range. The main criticism is failing to separate his ships to split gunfire. It would have been unusual for any flag commander to have asked a brand new untested ship to lead the flagship and draw the fire.
We will never know whether it was a shell from the Prinz Eugen (8 inch) or the Bismarck (15 inch) that started the sequence. All we do know is that Holland was anxious to close the gap and the detonation took place as the vessel was particularly vulnerable as she began turning to port to bring her rear 15 inch guns into action.
There is much anger amongst sime of you. Warships sink in combat, brave sailors on all sides get sacrificed. Progress moves designs forward. Hoods achiles heel was her top armour weakness. Bismarcks was not being able to steer without a rudder. Both sank.
Cordite and HE shells do not distinguish between the nation that their host ship belongs to. It is down to handling procedures, protection and of course battle tactics. The IJN learned this the hard way when the Mutsu exploded while at anchor, a repeat of the HMS Vanguard decades earlier.
I believe hood was sunk because of a common practice of leaving the magazine blast doors open to speed up the rate of fire. Had the doors been closed as per the standing orders the blast would of not ignited the powder room. She was an old outdated ship with a very experienced crew. a great old girl who died with her crew doing what she was made to do...defending the relm. R.i.p boys thank you for your sacrifice.
One other problem she had was that the powder magazine was located on top of the shell magazine, later ships reversed this as the powder was more likely to quickly go up. But as someone else pointed out the Bismarks shells were higher velocity and likely to be at a shallow angle, so the idea 4" ammo unsafely stored could be ignored is a possibility. I'd like to find evidence for this though as they had ready use lockers for this and one of the survivors reported these being hit earlier which caused a dreadful mess on the upper decks with many men killed before the shot that eventually ignited her powder magazine (hence the geyser of fire initially shot up before the whole ship exploded). In the Kriegsmarine wargames the Hood was their greatest terror, heavily armed, armoured enough to be hard to fight and too fast to escape. A lucky shot doomed her (although she badly needed better gun optics in a refit), but so did a lucky hit ironically doom the Bismark.
And one was my brother Kenneth. Ramsey rawson duckworth age 19 years
That is true, but the shell that dealt the fatal blow to Hood was impossibly lucky in the angle it hit and penetrated, right into the ships magazines.
Get real! It was HMS Hood not some tinpot yank gunboat!
I think that Hood was able to win when even modernizing.
Hood should NEVER have been sent to intercept the Bismarck. She was a Battle CRUISER-not Battleship w/ no protection from plunging shells. Vice-Admiral Holland knew this and tried to close the range with Bismarck as quickly as possible before firing a full broadside. He was just starting to turn the ship-when the Bismarck's shell struck.....
My mistake. The lucky ones.
Terrible casualties on the Hood. Out of 1'500, 8 survived.
3 survived
My grandfather was on HMS Electra (the ship that picked up the three survivors from the Hood). He told me that as they were steaming towards the co-ordinates they had been signalled to go to they made hundreds of sandwiches and big urns of "kye" to give to the men they were expecting to pick up out of the water. Needless to say they were shocked and dismayed to find only three men afloat. Very sad. Rest in peace.
My Grandfather serve on the Hood in signals, unfortunately I don't remember him at all as he died too young.
My father had a uncle who served on the Hood, but he was discharged with lung problems in the 1930's. I later heard (and saw why) they called her the royal navy's biggest submarine as she was a very wet ship in even moderate seas, not comfortable for those on-board.
Italians won battle of Midway? Do you NOT know about Naval History? I suggest you read a book first before making inaccurate comments you complete Idiot.
R.I.P HMS Hood
Hood never should have engaged Bismarck...as I said in a previous comment...german optical naval aiming systems were the best around at the time and it was not a one in a million hit but a 3,3 out of 100...so mathematically spoken Bismarck had to fire 33 shells (or 4 full broadsides with its 8 x 38,5 cm) to score a guaranteed full hit..if not for magazine Hood would have been sunk anyway by a full hit..its just that is was more spectacular the way it happend ..
The Bismark did hit before the fatefull one that ignited her magazine. While the Hood's fire control did need modernizing she still had the updated 15" guns and aiming systems so was a serious threat. And one hit in the right place could have swung the battle in the opposite direction, as Warspite against the Italians or Rodney did against Bismark (a shell from the fourth salvo demolished a turret and blew out the back into the bridge).
This is not how it works If you fire 33 shots at 3.3% that absolutly does not mean you guarantee a hit. The 33rd shot is still 3.3%. If you look at it as a whole after 33 shots it's about 50-60% chance you would have hit it by then.
lol you need to calm the hell down , you have anger issues or something and you so called "facts" are pretty much all wrong
I'm sorry did you just say the Italians won the battle of midway , that was the USA vs Japan,and the US won, Germany was allied with Italy, the HMS Warspite was a Royal Navy ship, the Bismark and Hood where never even in the pacific and Russia just like any country has achieved lots , the first satellite in space for one thing. Your ever a troll or need to read a history book my friend.
Actually there was a fatal flaw (although it was a designed flaw to save weight and produce more speed ) in the procedure and design of the Hood, its armor wasn't designed to stop a vertical impact, this was changed later on in a refit but all they did was add more amour tot he upper decks,add into the the factor she was old and weak compared to the the 16-inch guns on the Bismark and the fact she was a BATTLE CRUISER not a BATTLESHIP and you see why she was sunk.
