75 Years Ago this Morning

[kham]

HMS Hood was lost , in the Battle of the Denmark Straits in action against KM Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. It's a bit of a deal, with the ceremony dedicating the recovery of her Bell last year in Portsmouth, and this is also the 100th year since she was laid down. And next week is Jutland +100. Which we are reading Jellicoe's book now and discuss later.
All of them are gone now, even the 3 survivors. Bismarck's survivors also dwindling.
