I figured out that it only takes one torp to the bow of an Illustrious to send her down.
She does? Aww..... in theory, taking out all of the battleships and cruisers might prolong the Bismark's career... darn.
...but wait! That means I can sink her again! Lotta renown right there. I've already got close to 5500 points.

In the words of the Admiralty the Hood's a great ship. She never fails to deliver the renown
though I think she's got a 24 hour spawn time as I've run into her twice (three times once) in the same spot and on the same patrol.
My Current Patrol:
There happened to be two of them (Hood) in the harbor at the same time! The really rough weather goes both ways, it was hard to try and target her as it was almost impossible to see anything through all the rain (and it was nighttime). First one I hit twice and disabled her, needed to reload so went around to the other side of the pier where the other one was (and no DD's) and sank the one there. With the storm the flooding went faster and the first one sunk before I got around to putting in a finishing shot since she was still floating when I left her to reload the tubes.
This is from a previous patrol, notice I got the Hood 3 times, once in a task force, once when (presumably) she was waiting for a task force to form, then went upstream to see what was going on, the harbor was on fire and could see it several km's away; when I got back (day had passed, least was the next calender day) the Hood was back in the same spot I sunk her less than 12 hours ago. With only 2 eels left I gambled on a shot on the boilers and got a perfect magnetic hit; with the rough waters she went down with just 1 eel into her.
