[elswick1542]

[DerAusroter]

Yeah that's right. Maybe we should have done more Football matches and less wars

You would never believe this but the actor Jon Pertwee was on the HMS Hood but was Transferred shortly before it was destroyed in under ten seconds by the Bismarck. He was one of a small group that was transferred but 1'762 people were not so lucky. Its just sad really that so many people were killed with just one hit in the Armory near the middle of the boat. Only 4 people survived excluding the group of people transferred.

I remember seeing this documentary on the telly, and don't mind admitting I had a lump in my throat when Ted Briggs laid that plaque. That's a real man, right there.

Seeing that boot in all that wreckage says it all.

Sad.

hello hood fans! i'm a former association member and would like to bring

to your attention a book called the past times book of naval blunders by geoffrey regan. on page 172(battle of the denmark strait). the tragedy was the fact that

they sent a ww1 vunerable battlecruiser and a battleship with less than

half the guns operational (civilian crews still on board) to confront the most

powerful and technically advanced warship in the world (at that time). have a read if you can find it.
