	Loss of HMS Hood Part 2
		Still others have proposed that it was an uncontrollable spread of the fire on the boatdeck that lead to her loss, that perhaps a loading accident was to blame, or that the blast was caused by unsafe or unstable propellant.
		Some descriptions of the action suggest that Hood was either in the midst of completing her turn of 20 degrees away or that she had in fact completed it when the fatal explosion occurred.
		Assuming that Hood and Prince of Wales maintained the normal practice of turning together and recalling that Hood was flag and thus controlled the movements of both British ships, it is clearly unlikely that Prince of Wales would have begun the turn without receiving an 'execute' signal from Hood.

	Loss of HMS Hood

		At 2002, a message from cruiser HMS Suffolk reported the enemy as one battleship and one cruiser, course 240 degrees, in a position that translated to some 560 kilometers distant and almost directly north of the battlecruiser force.
		Assuming Hood's supposed zone of excessive deck vulnerability to be 5,000 meters wide, this means that the extra traverse time would have only been about two minutes, roughly enough time for only two extra salvos to have been exchanged.

		NORMAN: When sunk, Hood was "well within" her immune zone, "defined as a range no closer than 12,000 yards, and the outer limit beyond 25,000 to 30,000 yards." REALITY: Hood's "immune zone"--the area where both the belt armor and the deck armor are likely to resist the armor-piercing shells--was non-existent.
