The Sinking Of HMS Hood

Pride of Royal Navy HMS Hood took on the pride of German navy Bismarck and lost the battle
.
The explosion ripped HMS Hood into two pieces, and she sank in a few minutes with 1456 sailors in it. HMS Hood, the pride of the British Navy, went to the bottom of the Atlantic. Prince Wales deployed a smokescreen and escaped from the scene. Bismarck had taken some hits, and its precious fuel started to leak. Also, Bismarck’s hull took in some water, which effectively slowed it down. Bismarck needed immediate repairs. Bismarck’s captain decided to head for the French coast as going back to Norway might become a costly business.
The news of HMS Hood sinking caused outrage in Britain. Winston Churchill, the prime minister of Britain, called on all Royal Navy resources and ordered to sink Bismarck at all costs. Bismarck, with its leaking fuel tank, was tracked by the Royal navy. A torpedo bomb disabled its rudder, making it immobile. A task force H from Gibraltar was called on to finish the job. Though the French coast was just a few miles away, With 1333 sailors, Bismarck hit the bottom of the Atlantic.
Bismarck’s sinking boosted British morale and resonated with the world that Britain is still in the fight. Bismarck sinking outraged Hitler. Hitler started to concentrate on improving the army rather than the navy as capital ships are expensive. A single torpedo can turn it to ashes. Hitler also recalled all the German capital ships to German waters for the time being and assigned the task of harassing the Atlantic convoy to U boats. By sinking, Bismarck Britain bought in a change in German naval strategy. Also, it saved countless lives who took the risky journey in the convoys through the Atlantic.
