Day of HMS Hood
Sixty five years ago today one of the world’s greatest warships, HMS Hood met her destiny in a gun duel with the German battleship Bismarck during the Battle of the Denmark Straits.
The over 1400 men that perished when the “Mighty Hood” blew up will forever be heroes to those that read and reread the story of the sinking of the Bismarck. Most of the Bismarck’s crew were themselves only days away from joining their foes in one of histories greatest naval sagas. More men died on those 2 ships than were killed at Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941. Their memory will be eternal! Long live the Mighty Hood! Wulfmann
