	HMS Hood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Although Hood's design was modified in light of the loss of the battlecruisers HMS Queen Mary, Indefatigable, and Invincible (flagship of Rear Admiral Sir Horace Hood) at Jutland, and she was modernized twice, her magazine protection remained one of her weak spots and she carried only 3-inch deck armor.
		Hood was in the attack on the French fleet at the Battle of Mers el-Kébir on July 3, 1940, and then returned to the Home Fleet at Scapa Flow.
		One of the largest warships in the world, Hood was destroyed exactly one week shy of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Battle of Jutland, the lessons of which had been so consciously applied to her design.

		Hood, the eighth ship laid down under the 1888 estimates that also produced the high-freeboard Royal Sovereign class of 7 ships, was constructed partly to mollify the then-First Sea Lord, Sir Arthur Hood, who preferred low-freeboard turret ships.
		She was named, appropriately, HMS Hood to honor that great Naval family,* and carried her 13.5" main guns in genuine Coles turrets, great armored cylinders fore and aft.
		Yet more horrors ensued as Admiral Sir Horace Hood, commanding the Third Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland, was killed when his flagship Invincible was blown to smithereens.

		Hood was shot in the thigh shortly after the action commenced.

		Hood\'s protection accounted for 33% of her displacement; a high proportion by British standards, although less than was usual in US and German designs (for example, 40% for the later Bismarck).
		Hood was transferred to the destruction of the French Fleet at Mers-el-Kebir in July 1940.
		At about 0600 (0601 in German reckoning), as Hood was turning to bring all her guns to bear onto the Bismarck, she emitted a huge jet of flame, reaching skyward from the vicinity of the mainmast.

		But with her stunning looks still intact, her size, speed and armament unsurpassed, the world-famous HOOD had never been available, could never be spared it seemed for a much needed modernisation because she was always in demand at sea.
		After turning and then slipping the tugs at 0919 she had rung on revolutions for 10 knots for the passage down harbour: we see her here shortly after 0920 and the buoy in the right foreground shows the last of the flood tide is still making.
		Always a crowd puller around the world, always the centre of attention, the huge, symmetrically proportioned battle cruiser with a ‘terrible beauty and mailed might that both appals and exalts’ is giving the passengers on the Gosport ferry the treat of their lives as she glides slowly towards the narrow, crowd lined entrance.

		Among those lost with his flagship Invincible was Rear Admiral Sir Horace Hood, descendant of a family of several generations of distinguished naval officers.
		While the other three were later cancelled, the Hood was redesigned with somewhat heavier protection in light of the lessons of Jutland, was christened by the late admiral’s widow in 1918, and completed in 1920.
		With her horizontal protection now clearly inadequate and her speed reduced to 29 knots for want of an overhaul, the Hood was no longer a match for the ships she might have to face in battle.

		In his six months’ tenure, Hood conducted at least four bombardments of the coast aimed at damaging the German communications close to the sea.
		Because of the difficulties of accurate spotting, enemy counter fire, and the threat of mines and submarines, most of these bombardments had little military value other than to reassure the beleaguered troops ashore that they were being supported by the Navy.
		Hood grew progressively more convinced that the risk to his bombarding ships far outweighed any benefits unless the purpose was to support a definite Allied advance on land.
