Airfix
Model Kit - HMS Hood 1:600 Warship A04202
One of four Admiral class
battlecruisers ordered in mid-1916,
HMS
Hood was the largest of the her class and the largest warship in the
world when launched in 1918. After the battle of Jutland the
design of Hood was modified. However, as she still had
limitations work on her sistership was halted in 1917, leaving Hood as
Britain’s last completed purpose-built battlecruiser. She was
named after the 18th-century Admiral Samuel Hood.
She was the pride of the Royal
Navy on sailing to intercept
the
Bismarck in May 1941. After making contact with the German
battleship, she, with HMS Prince of Wales, opened fire. The
Bismarck returned fire and with the fifth salvo hit the Hood a fatal
blow and she sunk within two minutes. Only three crew from her
total of 1,500 survived.
