I have sunk the Hood - but its kind of a cheap way of doing it. Using GWX 1.03 - start a career at the earliest date. Go thru the channel and visit ports on the north side as you transit - you usualy can get a couple of merchies if your willing to brave the shallows and port guards. Dont go too slow though - or you might miss your chance at the Hood. If you check Plymouth early enough - you will almost always see the Hood at anchor. Given how Plymouth is guarded early in the war (No DE or DD patrolling the harbor itself and apparently no antisub/antitorp net) - the Hood becomes an easy target. Only real concern is your exit - you will usually encounter a DD on its way to investigate as you leave. If you tme your attack for the dark hours - a surface attack and retreat can be effective. Good Luck and Good Hunting!
