For the 5 worst, the loss of the Prince of Wales and Repulse to the Japanese should rank higher than the loss of the Hood. The Bismark doesn’t belong on the ‘greatest’ list, either.
Yes I was wondering about that too.
There are a few similar stories--the Emden in WW1 and the Graf Spee come to mind--that mostly seem to consist of the Germans sending out a single ship which causes havoc for a while, followed by the British hunting it down and sinking it.
