Historical background of HMS Hood

HMS Hood was the most famous battlecruiser of the Royal Navy, the largest and most powerful ship of its class at the time it entered service. It was launched in 1918 but saw its greatest period of activity during World War II (1939–1941). Hood was the pride of the British fleet and took part in numerous training operations in the Atlantic, the North Sea, and the Mediterranean. She was lost in a spectacular battle in the Denmark Strait (May 1941), in an engagement with the German battleship Bismarck, which became one of the most dramatic naval events of the period.
