And yet, to this day, no one is quite sure why Hood sunk. They’ve even now explored the wreck and they still don’t know why. The logical explanation is that she took a hit in the magazine and blew up. The only problem is: None of the witnesses at the time remember hearing or seeing an explosion.
It was sunk due to underwater damage. It was torpedoed by the British and the Germans claim that they used scuttling charges.
