HMS Hood: The Royal Navy’s Pride Lost and Found After 60 Years. Dive deep into the HMS Hood wreck discovery and the forensic evidence that revealed the cause of her catastrophic sinking by Bismarck in 1941. This episode details the aft-magazine explosion hypothesis, backed by the physical damage patterns found on the seabed nearly 3 kilometers down.
We use marine archaeology to analyze the wreck’s three major sections—bow, midships, and stern—to definitively prove that design flaws and not a torpedo strike led to the instantaneous loss of the battlecruiser and 1,415 men.
HMS Hood’s story remained untold for 60 years before its shipwreck was found. This documentary explores the maritime tragedy and the war history surrounding its sinking. See the discovery of the wreck and what it revealed about the ww2 battle.
