Ship Overview

All Ships

 Hood — British • Premium • Tier VI • Battleship.

A fast battlecruiser that had long remained the largest and one of the most powerful ships in the Royal Navy. The ship was built based on experience gained in World War I. Unlike later period battleships, she had weak horizontal armor protection. In the beginning of World War II, the ship's outdated secondary armament was demounted and replaced by enhanced AA guns.
