WW2 II: German battleship Bismarck sinks the Royal Navy

WW2 II: German battleship Bismarck sinks the Royal Navys largest warship HMS Hood off Greenland with the loss of more than 1, 400 lives. The boat explodes when a German shell hits the Hoods ammunition store.
HMS Hood - HMS Hood was easily the Pride of the British Navy. However, on May 24th 1941, she met a tragic end at the hands of the German battleship Bismarck. The Battle took place between Norway and Iceland in the North Atlantic. 1418 lives were lost onboard HMS Hood when a shell from the Bismrack hit the Hoods munitions magazine. The great ship exploded from the inside out. In revenge for this every Royal Navy ship in the North Atlantic and Western Mediterranean was called to the chase of the Bismarck. The chase lasted for three days and over 1, 700 miles as the Bismarck tried to reach the Port of Brest. Eventually the Bismarck was caught by the planes of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal who harried her until other ships of the fleet caught up to finih the job. Most of the Bismarcks crew, over 1, 000 men, were lost
