I never said I believed the AA magazines sank the Hood. I said it was likely that the explosion of the AA magazines also set off the 15" magazines. HMS Bulwark, USS Arizona and the three battlecruisers at Jutland were all sunk by explosions in the main magazines.

And are you really so unsure of your argument that you feel you must resort to telling me what I must believe regarding Prinz Eugen? The one conclusion has nothing to do with the other.

The torpedo-flat theory is a valid one, but no more so than any of the others.
