	HMS Hood (1891) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The second warship to be named HMS Hood was a modified Royal Sovereign-class battleship of the Royal Navy, and the last of the eight built.
		Hood differed significantly from the other Royal Sovereigns in that she had a freeboard of only 11 feet 3 inches compared to 19 feet 6 inches of the other members of the class.
		This small freeboard meant that Hood was very wet in rough weather and her maximum speed reduced rapidly as the wave height increased, making her only suitable for service in the relatively calm Mediterranean.

		The usual starting point for a dive on the Hood is a buoy outside the harbour entrance, a little to the south.
		Perhaps the Hood didn't deserve that epitaph, but since her launch in 1891, the 14,150 ton armoured monster had become known throughout the fleet as a good looker, but a lousy sailer.
		So it is not surprising that shortly after her completion in 1893, the 380ft-long warship was sent to the calmer waters of the Mediterranean.
