DETONATION

No.. can I have one?

1. "You recreate ships accurately", yeah we all know how good you are at that. Horrible would be an understatement. 2. First you call Hood a cruiser then a Battleship. Do you even do any research before making these videos? Doenst seem like it as Hood was a Battlecruiser. Look shit up Before u make a video where you say shit that not even close to reality. Quote. "She was well armored" Yeah lets just neglet the FACT that she had NO Deckarmor when put in service.

Good ammunition protection specially for Fireworks.

😘😘😘

The "battlecruiser" was on account of her speed. At the time of her construction she could go "toe to toe" with any battleship in the world, having both the firepower and armour to trade blows with allcomers PLUS she could achieve nearly 32 knots at a time when most capital ships could only achieve 23 knots.

bismark_: receives "devastating strike"

DETONATION

It was 3 shells one in the 4.7 inch magazine 1 above the main tower and the third in the main magazine

Why do people always keep giving the excuse of one lucky hit. I mean it doesn't matter how Bismarck sank Hood what matters is He did sank her.

@pAtRiCk StAr she could have taken on the Bismarck, Hood wasn't a paper tiger by any means, in fact she was the best ship the British had for the job; her guns could have caused devastating damage to the Bismarck if only she could have landed a shot. The main problem was her rear deck armour had not been upgraded (the front section had, and would have survived the hit) so she was especially vulnerable to plunging fire. Unfortunately because the government of the time didn't want to spend the money on upgrading her armour, they paid instead with the loss of the ship and all of the men inside. Prince of Wales managed to damage Bismarck and put a few holes in him, and she had inferior guns to the Hood. Bismarck was formidable but not invincible and he had some glaring flaws in his design as well. One was especially fatal, if the Bismarck took a hit to his stern section there was a chance it might break off due to a design flaw in construction that greatly weakened the stern (Bismarck's stern ripped off as he sunk due to this design flaw)

@pAtRiCk StAr PoW actually managed to shoot a shell straight through the Bismarck all the way out to the other side, kinda mad when you think about it. Had it actually blown up inside of the ship as it was going through it could have done a hell of alot of damage, luckily for Bismarck it didn't. Hood did have the biggest and most deadly main armament on offer of any British vessel though, and if she managed to land a salvo, it could have done some devastating damage to Bismarck, however it wouldn't be like when Hood blew up and I think nothing less than a modern anti-ship missile or a nuke could actually make Bismarck sink without the direct aid of its crew, but she could deal out enough to knock out his main gun battery's and cause serious blowy-upy issues for Bismarck's bridge and Admiral Lütjens. But yeah, ideally she could have had more support with her as she was far more likely to be the one to to blowy-upy, I'd say PoW and Hood were nowhere near enough to take on Eugen & Bismarck and they should have ambushed both of them with as many ships as possible. I'm not sure what ships were immediately available and in the area so there is that I guess, maybe PoW and Hood were the only ones there who could intercept them in time to try and strop them before they got to any civilian shipping. I know HMS Norfolk was in the area, and while a completely outclassed WWI era ship her extra guns and being a general annoyance could have helped somewhat, even if only as a sacrifice of sorts

hoods torp tubes where useless in real life, and if i recall they where fixed mounted so you had to move the ship to aim them and their speed was also another issue

24 knots speed for 4km and 40ish knots for 2 km

Kenny yeah but it would be an awesome meme weapon

@@kennyforgot83 Imagine the satisfaction of landing a hit with one though 😂

​@@Speedbird205i mean it's true, do your research as well

Drachnifel put this one to bed

Purely subjective.

debatable. she would still remain vunerable to the detonation, but not rushing in will allow the brits to have a chance to cripple the bismarck, and buy time for the norfolk and suffolk to arrive

Not really

Frosted Cat they had to rush in given the circumstances, Hoods deck armour at the time was only 3 inches at the most and 1 inch most places. Hoods belt armour was the same as the Queen Elizabeth class which could resist 15 inch shells so the idea was to get close enough to use her main belt and avoid plunging fire

Jaurl Z tell that to the warspite

@@kkhagerty6315 yes, that's the point. with the refit she still remains vunerable to the detonation.but at least the deck gives some immunity and allow holland to not rush in and find range more precisely

If Hood is played right its a monster

@@After_Pasta Ah you don't like Historic fact?, 1st the reason Hood didn't his Bis is because she wasn't shooting her she was targeting PE, PoW scored a hit to the Bis that caused extensive flooding and forced Bis to have to cut short her mission and return to German occupied Fance, you say could hit both Hood and RN well RN wasn't the name of a ship it's short for Royal Navy... Bismarck was ordered not to engage British warships unless unavoidable, Bismarck was based on the old WW1 Bayern design and really was not as powerful or super as is made out in reality she was not as accurate as made out, yes she made short work of Hood because she got lucky with that pen if you looked into any reliable source you'd soon learn that, you say the RN would have been next without a challenge, let's examine that after the Hood was sunk the RN had 13 Battleships still in active service (5 QE, 4 Revenge, 2 Nelson and 2 KGV) Bismarck was damaged to the point her mission was cut short and abandoned from damage from just 1 of them 13 Battleships with 1 14 inch shell, then she had no fighting chance against 2 Battleships, let alone the Cruisers and Destroyers that were also present or the Aircraft that crippled her further, so no the Royal Navy wouldn't have been next without a challenge when 1 battleship with gun problems was able to cut short her mission then a plane with a single torpedo further cripples her then 2 battleships turn her into a bringing wreck finally being sunk by a cruiser, these aren't opinions they are historical fact that is all out there, your clearly a Bismarck lover and I'm sorry that historical fact isn't what your opinion is but facts are facts, your the one talking 'rot' so before commenting maybe go and do some actual historic research and don't come out with all this baloney...

@@After_Pasta Not triggered the Hood was sunk that was just unlucky more o do with the fact that there is still loads of miss info about the Hood going around which is simply not true. When you say Hood simply didn't have what it took, this is one of them miss info that goes around about the Hood, in reality she was more that up to the task she was still one of the most powerful ships in the fleet and had constant refits that allowed her to maintain that title for near 21 years, however one such refit did create the weakness that caused the explosion, Hood had the same firepower as the QEs and in fact her guns were slightly different all 15 inch gunned RN warships mounted the Mk1 15 inch guns in Mk1 gun houses whereas Hood mounted the Mk1 15 inch guns in Mk2 gun houses and in terms of armour she was more than capable and was on par with the QEs her belt was only 1 inch thinner (12 inch main, 7 inch upper, and all 3 armoured decks above the magazine's added to about 7-8 inches of armour but deck armour is not a relevant statistic when talking about her loss as the range she was at would have made a deck penetration not possible) the problem that Hood had at DS was she incorrectly targeted Prinz Eugen not Bismarck (PoW correctly targeted Bismarck) by the time Hood realised the incorrect aim and went to correct it it was too late, the Hood had began turning and that shell was now on a direct impact course for that weakness that was created in that late 30s refit, take into account Bismarck would not have been at her most accurate as her radars where out of action after being knocked out by the concussion of her main guns (When she fired at the shadowing cruisers earlier on, also why PE took the lead), but in terms of Hood she was probably the most sensible choice for such a mission, a Battleship with good firepower and armour protection but was also fast (on me classed a BC due to speed as the RN back then classed capital ships over 30 knots as BCs regardless of armour thickness) look at Vanguard her and Hood were very similar but Vanguard classed a fast battleship mainly due to the term battlecruiser sort of evolved into fast battleship (after all Hood proved a BB could be well armed and well protected while not sacrifysing speed before that was even a thing) same reason why I say if the Iowa's had been in RN service they would have been classed BCs they were faster than 30 knots at the time the RN classed such BBs as BCs same would probably be true if Bismarck was RN, PoW also defiantly had what it took her problem was mechanical problems (the 14 inch guns were a new gun to the RN not to mention the quad mounts were also new) so due to the new gun system they still had what is best described as 'teething problems', and ended up jamming (the reason she smoked and retreated no point being there if she can't fight, no point losing another ship, her damage was actually minimal) however before her guns did jam she got that critical hit on Bis that ruptured her fuel tank and caused extensive flooding which put Bis down by the bow (fuel slick helped find her again) however after the problems with the 14s were figured out they became one of the best naval rifles in used during WW2. You could say Bis got unlucky with that torpedo to the rudder while turning, long story short Hood was more than up for the job, was well protected and armed but just got unlucky at the worse time to a weakness not there before 1938 and being in the config she was before then she'd probably have survived, PoW had gun problems and Bis got unlucky with the torpedo hit, sorry I got a bit snappy, the amount of miss info out there and constantly see it just winds me up not because of the person commenting it's not their fault most sources spread the miss info but the source spreading that miss info, the Hood Association website (official website for the official Association with people who served on Hood, Ted Briggs that last survivor of Hood to pass away was for a while the president of the Association) there's also the official Hood Association Facebook page with many of the Hood Association members there where your able to discuss Hood, her service, her statistics, armour etc and the battle of DS along with experts and people who study Hood etc. But majority of the info can be found on the Hood Association website, however the people of the Association FB group are kind and informative can help identify the year of a photo, a part of the shop and much more both are reliable sources with reliable information and members which is pretty self explanatory being official Hood Association sites but I'm rambling now.

​@@dutchman7216 After her redesign while still on the slipway Hood possessed the same armour protection as the contemporary RN "Queen Elizabeth" battleships which was FAR in excess of the previous "Lion" "Tiger" "Indefatigable" and even "Renown" class battlecruisers. Does that fact count for nothing? As Shakespeare's Juliet put it "What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet". In other words something "is" what it "is" regardless of what we choose to call it.

@@icetea1455 You're forgetting that the belt armour on the QE's and Revenge class was vertical... Hood's was angled outwards at 13° which gave the equivalent of 13in of belt armour.

Unrotated Projectiles

No, it would propably not have been. She was an old, worn down ship with mechanical issues, 25 year old armour techology which had to go fight a ship 20 years younger with guns that could have even penetrated her 12 inch belt if she had completed her turn. She was outmatched by bismarck in every way. If she were accompanied by a worked up ship, so maybe KGV insted of PoW, then things might have been better but she still would have had the worse hand to play.
