Hood is widely celebrated as the "Glory of the Royal Navy" and ranks among the service's most distinguished vessels. Her keel was laid in 1916, the same year as Renown, and she initially served as a cruiser for the Queen. As the war escalated, she was converted into a battleship, and the two ships eventually collided with each other during operations.
Hood's most infamous moment came when she faced off against Bismarck. A devastating hit from the German battleship proved catastrophic, and Hood sank, effectively ending her active service in the war.
