Just before 06:00, while Hood was turning 20° to port to unmask her rear turrets, she was hit again on the boat deck by one or more shells from Bismarck's fifth salvo, fired from a range of approximately 16,650 meters. A shell from this salvo appears to have hit the spotting top, as the boat deck was showered with body parts and debris. A huge jet of flame burst out of Hood from the vicinity of the mainmast, followed by a devastating magazine explosion that destroyed the aft part of the ship. This explosion broke the back of Hood, and the last sight of the ship, which sank in only three minutes, was her bow, nearly vertical in the water.

Bismarck sinking Hood is the naval history equivalent of a guy thinking he's tough, walking into a bar, and just punching someone in the face. Only to the discover that they just decked everyone's favourite patron and now the entire bar is staring them down with murderous intent.
You cannot be more active
The funniest part was Bismarck's killing shot on the Hood was _incredibly_ lucky to hit just in the right spot
Except that he actually is a musclebound tank of a guy. Still, even though he fends off everyone in the bar, he gets more and more winded as time goes along, so instead of letting everyone beat his ass, he deliberately headbutts the bar counter as hard as he can to knock himself out so nobody gets bragging rights.
@@ChrisMathers3501 Nah he acts big but gets half his teeth knocked out by HMS Rodney, three times his age.
@@timsneek7809 and then a little man named Dorsetshire knocks him out
I think the captain of the HMS hood even went down with the ship after it got blown to shreds by the Bismarck willingly.
Captains normally do I think, they hold responsibility for the ship and won't leave their post.
I can't imagine to think what goes through their heads at that time...
Both Captain R. Kerr and V.A L. Holland went down with hood, one can only imagine the last conversation they had..

My Opinion about this: I like Biscuit very Much, the Ship is awesome. What I dont like is destroying Hood-appreciators their Moments of remembering.

Pov: You just got Hit by the Bismarck and have no Deck Armor
I mean...yes...that's the point of the video
The Hood did actually have deck armour. It's not entirely clear what caused the magazine to detonate but there are different theories about how and where it was hit to cause it.
People mocking Hood for not having deck armour when she's a battlecruiser that sacrifices armour for speed and the ability to carry BB guns.
@@ryanelcock948 Also Iirc Hood had like a 7 inch thick angled protected deck, multiple layers. Also from what I've read, the distance wasn't long enough for plunging fire. Perhaps it was a diving shell that bypassed the armor belt entirely.
EDIT: No Hood did not have a 7 inch deck, it has several 2 inch decks. The 7 inch was the auxiliary belt above the main waterline belt of 12 inches
@@Mister.Weatherbee Hood had decent deck armor if you look at her plans
my great grandfather served on the hood as a stoker but fortunately when Hood set out to hunt the Bismarck he was off sick with German measles, he'd later die on HMS Barham. That's why I all way say there was 4 survivors that day.

Bismarck: We sank your best ship and we will win!

HMS Prince of Wales: *U H M.*
Your pfp works well with that comment
ok on a serious note
can we please remember that HMS Hood was commissioned 15th May 1920 and was launched *22nd August 1918*
this thing was basically from WW1 and the Bismarck was commissioned *24th August 1940*
it wasn't a fair fight to begin with and it damn well didn't end like one
The hood had guns that matched the Bismarck's firepower but it's biggest weakness was the deck armor. The extreme range of the battle enabled the Bismarck to drop shells directly onto the deck of the hood. Had the fight been closer the hood might have survived, or at least there would've been more survivors if the hood sank anyway.
@@Jake-qc3mj recent finding show that the distance was too close for a deck shot. It was through the belt. If you want to watch a someone cover the findings on UA-cam drach does good work.
@@thewick-j1837 didn’t the shot penetrate under the main belt?
Commissioned 1920 and launched 1918? That makes no sense at all.
commissioned means beginning of service, launched means first time afloat (not necessarily in service)
I kinda feel sad for the 1400 men on Hood that sacrificed their lives so people can make fun about it
Happens all the time. On the one hand, yes it's kinda sad, on the other hand we will never stop making fun about things that involved people dying. Only the fewest among those people do it with the intent to disrespect the dead so I think it's alright

Hood sank in two minutes this song goes on longer than hood sinking

The British concept of battlecruisers is flawed. They paid the price at Jutland with Invincible, Indefatigable, and Queen Mary. The Hood was the final nail in the coffin. Notable exception is HMS Tiger. Such a powerful beauty.
The Indefatigable and her class was laughably under armored and gunned compared to latter classes that served with them at Jutland. They were old designs overly emphasizing speed over everything else. The later classes, such as the Lions, Queen Mary, and Tiger, showed good success, when not affected by the abysmal gunnery and shell handling of the Battlecruiser squadron. The attached battlecruisers, under the Grand Fleet rather than Beaty’s battlecruisers, owing to better training in Scapa, managed far better. The British Battlecruiser’s failures at Jutland can be chalked up to Beaty’s incompetence. The failure to keep the 5th battle squadron with the battlecruisers and failure to open fire at the safe gunnery range left the Germans ample time to fire to good effect and score devastating hits, due to aforementioned abysmal shell handling.
The Hood was old and needing of a retrofit. However, the lessons of long range gunnery was not learned until after WWI, with the all or nothing armor scheme adopted across almost all navies to improve upon this. For example, the Kaiserliche Marine installed torpedos on the Battlecruisers under the doctrine that long range gunfights would devolve into close range combat, stated in Gary Staff’s excellent German Battlecruisers of World War One. The battlecruiser concept cannot be thrown out due to the destruction of a single ship.
I would say the British Battlecruisers were excellent ships once past the Indefatigables. Falling short in WWI due to a commander’s incompetence and complacent safety procedures and WWII due to, at worst under an under-armored deck, at best a godlike shot.
Considering that Hood was the culmination of British battlecruiser development upon her launch, it would be odd to suggest that Tiger was in some way superior (though I really like Tiger aswell). Invincible and Indefatigable were quite different to their proceeding classes of battlecruisers, given that they're intended role was almost exclusively as cruiser killers, while the Germans designed they're battlecruisers with the battleline in mind. I personally have a soft spot for the wing turreted battlecruisers, New Zealand being chief among them, but they aren't a good representation of British battlecruiser tech by WW1

Wir Lagen vor Madagaskar, but you're captain of the KMS Bismarck and the Royal Navy's hunting you...
The....irony of this is that this song lasted about 2 minutes more then Hood did after the detonation before sinking beneath the waves.
Headshot while charging into battle... versus Bismarck's running shit scared for a week before being caught and "bummed to death" by two superior RN battleships. I know which one I'd prefer.
This is why we don't pit WW1 rust buckets against brand new battleships
We use paper planes instead
Correction: this is why we don't pit battlecruisers, specifically designed to outrun more powerful battleships, against more advanced, more heavily armed battleships
hoho
@@randombrit4504 bruh the Bismarck wasn't even more heavily armed , it was just 20 years more modern (even tho the Bismarck was a shit design for the late 30s it still had way better technology)

Blood memory.
The Crew of the Hood new their vulnerably in armor and plunging fire and went anyway. They sacrificed their lives to put a shell hole in Bismarck that allowed the RN catch up and sink her. True bravery is knowing the danger and still pushing forward. Cheers, lads.

>tfw when you your ship just got hit with a 1 in a million golden bb below the waterline
the hood wasnt even a bad match for the awful design that was the bismark , she was just in desperate need of a refit and the most unlucky battlship in history , literally hit the only point on the deck that wouldn't have withstood the shell lmao.
The shell hit the belt armor, not the deck.
@@VRichardsn no it hit just aft of turret c on the deck . If it hit the belt if wouldn't have done that kind of damage
@@micheal6898 How come not? The angle at that range was too shallow to through the layers of deck armor. An exposed part of the belt through the waves is the most likely cause of the successful penetration.
@@VRichardsn they did a study on it and have figure out where it was hit , also 26000 yards is not that shallow .
@@micheal6898 You must be thinking of an entirely different battle, I am afraid. The hit that sunk the Hood was achieved from 14 km.
Even then, in a theoretical scenario, a 26,000 yards would have its shell striking at a 22º angle. Quite shallow.
The true definition of one shot
I reckon 16in gunfire from hms Rodney pulling apart the Bismarck would have been good to
dont forget 10x14" guns from the KGV mauled the bismark
At least the ship didn't have to face the shame of being scrapped like Warspite
1,400 men dead in the blink of an eye. War is cruel.
this song is about 5 mins longer than it should be
this song lasted longer than the engagement lol
We've got to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us...
And another ship i guess...
Is that from the Johnny Horton song?
edit: Hit the decks a' runnin' boys boys, and spin those guns around, when we find the Bismarck we've gotta cut 'er down!

I wonder which naval warfare was more "brutal" the Atlantic or the Pacific.
My great grandfather and other members of family served in the IJN during WW2
On first glance, i would say the pacific was more "intense" then the war in the atlantic.
Yes, bismarck scored an impressive kill, but after that, the kriegsmarine pretty much lost its "Bite", with only Admiral dönitz u-boat fleet threatening the allies until 42/43.
On the other hand , in the pacific theater your had legends/storys like the destroyer yuudachi, the nightmare of solomon and the US aircraft carrier Enterprise aka Grey Ghost ( IJN thought they sank here 3 times and her crew always brought her back).
@@Valk13125 i agree and also Japan had a huge focus on their naval operations than Germany, yes initally there were more naval battles in the atlantic threatre than pacific but quickly became less of a thing in 1943 with the Italians pulling out of the war and most of the Kriegsmarine down while American British and French ships were around to make more hell
Pacific
Pacific. Especially that one when the Koreans beat the shit out of the hundreds the Shogunate invaders ship with only handful of fully armored dragon boat back in 16's century. That thing is just lit.
Personally I would've liked Rule Britannia played over dying Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar

How about the german anthem (instrumental version) as Bismarck is pumelled by shells left right and center and half way through starts to sink
@@Deaglan753 it would have more sense as "german anthem but you're placing explosive charges on the biskmarck's weak armor structure" if you want it to sink as that is the real reason why it sunk, not the shells or the torpedoes, but the charges set by the crew, otherwise it would have just stayed there floating without going down.
@@spygineer1076 ive heard otherwise and that seems just plain fantasy mate
The torpedoes were the reason the Bismarck couldnt escape and Rodneys guns were also hard hitting Bismarck to the point bismarcks deck was expolding from the amount of pressure being put on it, even if bismarcks crew didnt set those charges off, the british still would have destoryed her
Even if the ending isnt the same, my main point was that nearly all of bismarcks crew were lost as she sank as british vessels detected a uboat near by. Unbeknownst to the british, the Uboat had no torpedos left

Just a question, there are ONLY three survivors of the HMS Hood, and that's just from the initial explosion. Who the hell rang the alarm (self-activating alarms weren't a thing in 1941), and how is there even an alarm left? And yeah, the Captain of the Hood died INSTANTLY when that magazine went up, so apparently we're hearing all of this as a ghost!
Guess Prince of Wales rang hers for hood
The captain did not die instantly. He stood by the admiral who sat in his chair whilst the ship listed and the stern missing. It was only after this that the ammunition cooked off and the ship blew up.
I say this a lot, but bismarcks hit on hood wasn't skill...it was pure bad luck for hood. A shot like that is a one in a million shot and I'd wager Bismarck probably would've been heavily damaged by hood and prince of wales had hood not sunk. My point is, hood was sunk due to extremely bad luck.
So the ship sank quicker than this song?
