Mighty Hood – Histrocore

HMS Hood and the Battle of the Denmark Strait.

Historical background

On 24 May 1941, HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Wales intercepted the German battleship Bismarck and cruiser Prinz Eugen. The ships opened fire in the Denmark Strait as the Germans attempted to reach the Atlantic.

Hood suffered a catastrophic explosion and sank. Only three of its crew survived. The loss intensified the Royal Navy’s pursuit of Bismarck, which was sunk three days later.
