Please explain. I had been under the impression that it was a 'lucky shot' that did in the Hood (e.g. a round landing almost vertically on a gun turret, burrowing down to detonate ammo stores).
Corrections gratefully accepted...

Hood was a battlecruiser, not a battleship. It was not as heavily armored as Bismarck. Battlecruisers were never intended to go up against battleships. They were faster than battleships and were supposed to 'run away' if confronted by a battleship. That said, it was a lucky shot.
