Wasn’t the Hood an American ship given to the British?

No, the Hood is a British built battle-cruiser and commissioned in 1920. You are probably thinking of the WWI 4-stack destroyers given to the British in 1940-41

No.. it was the pride of the British Navy in the interwar Years....to say HMS Hood to a Brit is to say USS Arizona to an America...it one of those kinds of wounds
