Title -  HMS HOOD

 

Description -  HMS Hood (pennant number 51) was the last battlecruiser built for the British Royal Navy.  Commissioned in 1920, she was named after the 18th-century Admiral Samuel Hood.  One of four Admiral-class battlecruisers ordered in mid-1916, Hood had design limitations, though her design was revised after the Battle of Jutland and improved while she was under construction.  For this reason, she was the only ship of her class to be completed.  Despite the appearance of new and more modern ship designs over time, Hood remained the largest and most powerful warship in the world for 20 years after her commissioning, and her prestige was reflected in her nickname, "The Mighty Hood".
