Discover the HMS Hood Cruiser Model

Faithful Replica of a Historic Ship

HMS Hood is a British battlecruiser from the interwar period and World War II. Launched in 1918, it entered service two years later. It measured as much as 262.3 m in length. The cruiser's main artillery armament was eight BL Mk I 381 mm guns. In the interwar period, the cruiser, as the largest ship in the world, was the showcase of the Royal Navy. After the outbreak of World War II and the defeat of France, he was transferred to Gibraltar, where he joined Force H. On May 21, 1941, in the company of the battleship "Prince of Wales", he set sail on his last voyage. Three days later, British ships clashed in the Denmark Strait with the German battleship Bismarck and her heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. After a short artillery duel at a long distance, an accurate shell caused an internal explosion in the stern part of "Hood", which completely destroyed the ship. Of the 1,418 crew, only three sailors were saved. The sinking of the "Hood" caused shock in Great Britain.
