Okay so I'm a few days behind....

But I have to say I disagree with Deep-Six.

Yes the Iowa class BBs were larger than HMS Hood and could potentially cause more destruction, but in the spirit of the game and renown system, through Kriegsmarine eyes they just were'nt the same threat due to their location and main theaters of operation.
Plus the propaganda value of sinking the flagship of the Royal Navy at the time was huge. Look at old newsreels and paper extracts this was a huge catastophy for the Royal Navy. Only the sinking of Bismark reduced its impact.
