It’s astonishing that the Hood had any survivors in view of the main magazines being hit.

There were survivors on the Arizona and HMS Barham,both those ships suffered main magazine explosions.

‘It’s astonishing that the Hood had any survivors in view of the main magazines being hit.’

Not to mention the temp of the water they fished them from.

I recall seeing an interview with one of the surviving members of the HMS Hood.

He was on deck at the time and somehow got off and got far enough away from the vortex.

He sounded like he was suffering from survivor guilt to me. God bless him.

It seemas that after the rear magazines went, fire raced along the ventilator system and torched off the forward magazines as well. When they found HOOD a few years back, they saw two sections [stern and bridge], but couldn’t find the bow.
