(<a href="/wiki/Pennant_number" title="Pennant number">pennant number</a> 51) was a <a href="/wiki/Battlecruiser" title="Battlecruiser">battlecruiser</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Navy" title="Royal Navy">Royal Navy</a> (RN). Hood was the first of the planned four <a href="/wiki/Admiral-class_battlecruiser" title="Admiral-class battlecruiser">Admiral-class</a> battlecruisers to be built during the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>. Already under construction when the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Jutland" title="Battle of Jutland">Battle of Jutland</a> occurred in mid-1916, that battle revealed serious flaws in her design, and despite drastic revisions she was completed four years later. For this reason, she was the only ship of her class to be completed, as the <a href="/wiki/British_Admiralty" class="mw-redirect" title="British Admiralty">Admiralty</a> decided it would be better to start with a clean design on succeeding battlecruisers, leading to the never-built <a href="/wiki/G3_battlecruiser" title="G3 battlecruiser">G-3 class</a>. Despite the appearance of newer and more modern ships, Hood remained the largest warship in the world for 20 years after her commissioning, and her prestige was reflected in her nickname, "The Mighty Hood". Hood was involved in many <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/show_the_flag" class="extiw" title="wikt:show the flag">showing-the-flag</a> exercises between her <a href="/wiki/Ship_commissioning" title="Ship commissioning">commissioning</a> in 1920 and the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom_declaration_of_war_on_Germany_(1939)" title="United Kingdom declaration of war on Germany (1939)">outbreak of war in 1939</a>, including training exercises in the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean Sea</a> and a circumnavigation of the globe with the <a href="/wiki/Cruise_of_the_Special_Service_Squadron" title="Cruise of the Special Service Squadron">Special Service Squadron</a> in 1923 and 1924. She was attached to the <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Fleet" title="Mediterranean Fleet">Mediterranean Fleet</a> following the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/Second_Italo-Ethiopian_War" title="Second Italo-Ethiopian War">Second Italo-Ethiopian War</a> in 1935. When the <a href="/wiki/Spanish_Civil_War" title="Spanish Civil War">Spanish Civil War</a> broke out the following year, Hood was officially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet until she had to return to Britain in 1939 for an overhaul. By this time, advances in naval gunnery had reduced Hood's usefulness. She was scheduled to undergo a major rebuild in 1941 to correct these issues, but the outbreak of the <a href="/wiki/Military_history_of_the_United_Kingdom_during_World_War_II" title="Military history of the United Kingdom during World War II">Second World War</a> in September 1939 kept the ship in service without the upgrades. When war with <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Germany</a> was declared, Hood was operating in the area around <a href="/wiki/Iceland" title="Iceland">Iceland</a>, and she spent the next several months hunting for German <a href="/wiki/Commerce_raider" class="mw-redirect" title="Commerce raider">commerce raiders</a> and <a href="/wiki/Blockade_runner" title="Blockade runner">blockade runners</a> between Iceland and the <a href="/wiki/Norwegian_Sea" title="Norwegian Sea">Norwegian Sea</a>. After a brief overhaul of her propulsion system, she sailed as the <a href="/wiki/Flagship" title="Flagship">flagship</a> of <a href="/wiki/Force_H" title="Force H">Force H</a>, and participated in the <a href="/wiki/Attack_on_Mers-el-K%C3%A9bir" title="Attack on Mers-el-Kébir">destruction of the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir</a>. Transferred to the <a href="/wiki/Home_Fleet" title="Home Fleet">Home Fleet</a> shortly afterwards, Hood was dispatched to <a href="/wiki/Scapa_Flow" title="Scapa Flow">Scapa Flow</a>, and operated in the area as a convoy escort and later as a defence against a <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Britain" title="Battle of Britain">potential German invasion</a> fleet. In May 1941, Hood and the <a href="/wiki/Battleship" title="Battleship">battleship</a> <a href="/wiki/HMS_Prince_of_Wales_(53)" title="HMS Prince of Wales (53)">Prince of Wales</a> were ordered to intercept the <a href="/wiki/German_battleship_Bismarck" title="German battleship Bismarck">German battleship Bismarck</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Heavy_cruiser" title="Heavy cruiser">heavy cruiser</a> <a href="/wiki/German_cruiser_Prinz_Eugen" title="German cruiser Prinz Eugen">Prinz Eugen</a>, which were en route to the Atlantic, where they were to attack convoys. On 24 May 1941, early in the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_the_Denmark_Strait" title="Battle of the Denmark Strait">Battle of the Denmark Strait</a>, Hood was struck by several German shells, exploded, and sank with the loss of all but 3 of her crew of 1,418. The RN conducted two inquiries into the reasons for the ship's quick demise. The first, held soon after the ship's loss, concluded that Hood's aft <a href="/wiki/Magazine_(artillery)#Naval_magazines" title="Magazine (artillery)">magazine</a> had exploded after one of Bismarck's shells penetrated the ship's armour. A second inquiry was held after complaints that the first board had failed to consider alternative explanations, such as an explosion of the ship's <a href="/wiki/Torpedo" title="Torpedo">torpedoes</a>. It was more thorough than the first board but concurred with the first board's conclusion. Despite the official explanation, some historians continued to believe that the torpedoes caused the ship's loss, while others proposed an accidental explosion inside one of the ship's <a href="/wiki/Gun_turret" title="Gun turret">gun turrets</a> that reached down into the magazine. Other historians have concentrated on the cause of the magazine explosion. The discovery of the ship's wreck in 2001 confirmed the conclusion of both boards, although the exact reason the magazines detonated is likely to remain unknown, since that portion of the ship was obliterated in the explosion. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Design_and_description">Design and description</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Hood&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Design and description">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Admiral-class_battlecruiser" title="Admiral-class battlecruiser">Admiral-class battlecruiser</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:HMS_Hood_(1921)_profile_drawing.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png/220px-HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="44" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png/330px-HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/99/HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png/440px-HMS_Hood_%281921%29_profile_drawing.png 2x" data-file-width="2176" data-file-height="436" /></a><figcaption>Profile drawing of Hood as she was in 1921, in Atlantic Fleet dark grey</figcaption></figure> The Admiral-class battlecruisers were designed in response to the German <a href="/wiki/Mackensen-class_battlecruiser" title="Mackensen-class battlecruiser">Mackensen-class</a> battlecruisers, which were reported to be more heavily armed and armoured than the latest British battlecruisers of the <a href="/wiki/Renown-class_battlecruiser" title="Renown-class battlecruiser">Renown</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Courageous-class_battlecruiser" title="Courageous-class battlecruiser">Courageous classes</a>.

Unlike Tiger, the armour was angled outwards 12° from the waterline to increase its relative thickness in relation to flat-trajectory shells. This change increased the ship's vulnerability to <a href="/wiki/Plunging_fire" title="Plunging fire">plunging</a> (high-trajectory) shells, as it exposed more of the vulnerable deck armour. Some 5,000 long tons (5,100 t) of armour were added to the design in late 1916, based on British experiences at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Jutland" title="Battle of Jutland">Battle of Jutland</a>, at the cost of deeper draught and slightly decreased speed. To save construction time, this was accomplished by thickening the existing armour, rather than redesigning the entire ship.<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> Hood's protection accounted for 33% of her displacement, a high proportion by British standards, but less than was usual in contemporary German designs (for example, 36% for the battlecruiser <a href="/wiki/SMS_Hindenburg" title="SMS Hindenburg">SMS Hindenburg</a>).<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> The armoured belt consisted of face-hardened <a href="/wiki/Krupp_cemented_armour" class="mw-redirect" title="Krupp cemented armour">Krupp cemented armour</a> (KC), arranged in three <a href="/wiki/Strake" title="Strake">strakes</a>.

The middle armour belt had a maximum thickness of 7 inches over the same length as the thickest part of the waterline armour and thinned to five inches abreast 'A' barbette. The upper belt was 5 inches thick amidships and extended forward to 'A' barbette, with a short 4-inch extension aft.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> The gun turrets and barbettes were protected by 11 to 15 inches (279 to 381 mm) of KC armour, except for the turret roofs, which were 5 inches thick.

The <a href="/wiki/Forecastle" title="Forecastle">forecastle</a> deck ranged from 1.75 to 2 inches (44 to 51 millimetres) in thickness, while the upper deck was 2 inches (51 mm) thick over the magazines and 0.75 inches (19 mm) elsewhere. The main deck was 3 inches (76 mm) thick over the magazines and 1 inch (25 mm) elsewhere, except for the 2-inch-thick slope that met the bottom of the main belt. The lower deck was 3 inches thick over the propeller shafts, 2 inches thick over the magazines and 1 inch elsewhere.<a href="#cite_note-b99-27">[27]</a> Live-firing trials with the new 15-inch APC (armour-piercing, capped) shell against a mock-up of Hood showed that this shell could penetrate the ship's vitals via the 7-inch middle belt and the 2-inch slope of the main deck as a result 3-inch plating on the main deck over the slopes was added alongside the magazine spaces at a very late stage of construction and the four aftermost 5.5-inch guns and their ammunition hoists were removed in partial compensation.. A proposal was made to increase the armour over the forward magazines to 5 inches and 6 inches over the rear magazines in July 1919 in response to these trials. To compensate for the additional weight, the 4 midships above water torpedo tubes and the armour for the rear torpedo warheads were removed, and the armour for the aft torpedo-control tower was reduced in thickness from 6 to 1.5 inches (38 mm). However, the additional armour was never fitted pending further trials.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> As completed, Hood remained susceptible to plunging shells and bombs.<a href="#cite_note-b99-27">[27]</a> The torpedo-warhead armour was reinstated during the ship's 1929–1931 refit.<a href="#cite_note-r1-21">[21]</a> For protection against torpedoes, she was given a 7.5-foot (2.3 m)<a href="#cite_note-b99-27">[27]</a> deep <a href="/wiki/Torpedo_bulge" class="mw-redirect" title="Torpedo bulge">torpedo bulge</a> that ran the length of the ship between the fore and aft barbettes.

For instance, the never-built <a href="/wiki/G3_battlecruiser" title="G3 battlecruiser">G3 battlecruiser</a> was classified as such, although it would have been more of a fast battleship than Hood.<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> The scale of Hood's protection, though adequate for the Jutland era, was at best marginal against the new generation of 16-inch (406 mm) gunned capital ships that emerged soon after her completion in 1920, typified by the American <a href="/wiki/Colorado-class_battleship" title="Colorado-class battleship">Colorado-class</a> and the Japanese <a href="/wiki/Nagato-class_battleship" title="Nagato-class battleship">Nagato-class</a> battleships. The Royal Navy were fully aware that the ship's protection flaws still remained, even in her revised design, so Hood was intended for the duties of a battlecruiser, and she served in the battlecruiser squadrons through most of her career. Late in her career, Hood was outclassed by the armour and protective arrangement of Second World War-era fast battleships, but few of the RN's available "big gun" vessels could match Bismarck's speed.<a href="#cite_note-hmshood.com-32">[32]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Construction">Construction</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Hood&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Construction">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg/170px-John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="267" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg/255px-John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg/340px-John_Brown_advertisement_Brasseys_1923.jpg 2x" data-file-width="416" data-file-height="653" /></a><figcaption>A John Brown & Company advertisement in <a href="/wiki/The_Naval_Annual" title="The Naval Annual">Brassey's Naval Annual</a> featuring Hood, 1923</figcaption></figure> Construction of Hood began at the John Brown shipyard in <a href="/wiki/Clydebank" title="Clydebank">Clydebank</a>, Scotland, as <a href="/wiki/Yard_number" class="mw-redirect" title="Yard number">yard number</a> 460 on 1 September 1916.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> Following the loss of three British battlecruisers at the Battle of Jutland, 5,000 tons of extra armour and bracing were added to Hood's design.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> Most seriously, the deck protection was flawed—spread over three decks, it was designed to detonate an incoming shell on impact with the top deck, with much of the energy being absorbed as the exploding shell had to penetrate the armour of the next two decks.

The principal theories include the following causes: <ul><li>A direct hit from a shell penetrated to a magazine aft. Such a shell could only have come from Bismarck, since Prinz Eugen was no longer firing at Hood at the time of the explosion. As noted above, this version of events was almost taken for granted at the time of the sinking. Doubt first arose as a result of eyewitness testimony that the explosion that destroyed Hood originated near the mainmast, well forward of the aft magazines (for example, the sketch shown prepared for the second board of enquiry by <a href="/wiki/John_Leach_(Royal_Navy_officer)" title="John Leach (Royal Navy officer)">Captain Leach</a> of Prince of Wales).</li></ul> At the second board, expert witnesses suggested that what was observed was the venting, through the engine-room ventilators, of a violent—but not instantaneous—explosion or <a href="/wiki/Deflagration" title="Deflagration">deflagration</a> in the 4-inch shell magazines. The same deflagration would have collapsed the bulkhead separating the 4-inch and 15-inch magazines, resulting very quickly in a catastrophic explosion similar to those previously witnessed at Jutland. This theory was ultimately adopted by the board.<a href="#cite_note-79">[78]</a> <ul><li>A shell, falling short and travelling underwater, struck below the armoured belt and penetrated a magazine. During the same action, Prince of Wales received a hit of this type from a 15-inch shell, which travelled underwater for about 80 feet (24 m), struck about 28 feet (8.5 m) below the waterline, penetrated several light bulkheads and fetched up, without exploding, against the torpedo bulkhead. The second board considered this theory improbable, arguing that the fuse, had it worked at all, would have detonated the shell before it reached the ship. According to Jurens's calculations, one of Bismarck's shells that fell approximately 20 feet (6.1 m) short of Hood could have penetrated the side of the ship beneath the armour belt and would have detonated in the vicinity of the ship's magazines if the fuse worked.<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a></li> <li>The ship was destroyed by the explosion of her own torpedoes. According to Goodall's theory, the ship's torpedoes could have been detonated either by the fire raging on the boat deck or, more probably, by a direct hit from Bismarck. This would have blown out the side of the ship, destroying the girder strength of the hull; the force of water entering the hole, at a speed of nearly 30 knots (56 km/h), would then shear the stern section from the rest of the hull.<a href="#cite_note-81">[80]</a></li> <li>The fire on the boat deck penetrated to a magazine. Evidence given to the second board indicated that the doors for the 4-inch ammunition supply trunks were closed throughout the action. It remains possible that a door or trunk could have been opened up by an enemy shell, admitting flames to the magazine. Alternative routes for admission of flame could have been the ventilation or venting arrangements of the magazines or, as Ted Briggs suggested, through the floor of a 15-inch gunhouse.<a href="#cite_note-82">[81]</a></li> <li>The explosion was initiated by 4-inch ammunition stored outside the magazines. Writing in 1979, the naval historian <a href="/wiki/Antony_Preston_(naval_historian)" class="mw-redirect" title="Antony Preston (naval historian)">Antony Preston</a> claimed that the aft magazines of Hood were "surrounded by additional 4-inch (102 mm) anti-aircraft shells outside the armoured barbettes. Such unprotected stowage could have been detonated either by the boat-deck fire or by a shell from Bismarck."<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a></li> <li>The ship was blown up by her own guns. At the second board, eyewitnesses reported unusual types of discharge from the 15-inch guns of Hood, suggesting that a shell could have detonated within the gun, causing an explosion within the gunhouse. It is possible that, under the stress of combat, the safety measures, introduced after the disasters at Jutland to prevent such an explosion reaching the magazines, could have failed.<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a></li></ul> An extensive review of these theories (excepting that of Preston) is given in Jurens's 1987 article. Its main conclusion is that the loss was almost certainly precipitated by the explosion of a 4-inch magazine, but that there are several ways this could have been initiated, although he rules out the boat deck fire or the detonation of her torpedoes as probable causes. In Jurens's opinion, the popular image of plunging shells penetrating Hood's deck armour is inaccurate, as by his estimation the angle of fall of Bismarck's 15-inch shells at the moment of the loss would not have exceeded about 14°, an angle so unfavourable to penetration of horizontal armour that it is actually off the scale of contemporaneous German penetration charts. Moreover, computer-generated profiles of Hood show that a shell falling at this angle could not have reached an aft magazine without first passing through some part of the belt armour. On the other hand, the 12-inch belt could have been penetrated if Hood had progressed sufficiently far into her final turn.<a href="#cite_note-85">[84]</a> Inspection of the wreck has confirmed that the aft magazines did indeed explode. The stern of the Hood was located, with the rudder still in place, and it was found that this was set to port at the time of the explosion. Furthermore, a section of the bow immediately forward of 'A' turret is missing, which has led historian and former <a href="/wiki/Britannia_Royal_Naval_College" title="Britannia Royal Naval College">Dartmouth</a> lecturer <a href="/wiki/Eric_J._Grove" class="mw-redirect" title="Eric J. Grove">Eric J. Grove</a> and expedition leader <a href="/wiki/David_Mearns" title="David Mearns">David Mearns</a> to believe that "either just before or just after leaving the surface, the bow suffered massive internal damage from an internal explosion",<a href="#cite_note-exp-86">[85]</a> possibly a partial detonation of the forward 15-inch magazines. It has been suggested that the fatal fire spread from the aft end of the ship through the starboard fuel tanks, since the starboard side of Hood "appears to be missing most, if not all, of its torpedo bulge plating".<a href="#cite_note-exp-86">[85]</a> The evidence of the wreck refutes Goodall's theory of a torpedo explosion, while the eyewitness evidence of venting from the 4-inch magazine prior to the main explosion conflicts with the theory that the Hood was blown up by her own guns. The other theories listed above remain valid possibilities.<a href="#cite_note-87">[86]</a> In their study of the battleship Bismarck's operational history released in 2019, including its engagement with Hood, Jurens, William Garzke, and Robert O. Dulin Jr. concluded that Hood's destruction was most likely caused by a 380-mm shell from Bismarck that penetrated the deck armour and exploded in the aft 4-inch magazine, igniting its <a href="/wiki/Cordite" title="Cordite">cordite</a> propellant, which in turn ignited the cordite in the adjacent aft 15-inch magazine. Rapid expansion of the resulting combustion gases from the conflagration then caused structural failure, passing out through the sides of the ship as well as forward and upwards via the engine room vents, expelling the aft main battery turrets and causing the stern to be detached from the rest of the hull at the aft armoured bulkhead.<a href="#cite_note-88">[87]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Wreck">Wreck</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Hood&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Wreck">edit</a>]</div> In 2001, British broadcaster <a href="/wiki/Channel_4" title="Channel 4">Channel 4</a> commissioned shipwreck hunter David Mearns and his company, Blue Water Recoveries, to locate the wreck of Hood, and if possible, produce underwater footage of both the battlecruiser and her attacker, Bismarck. This was to be used for a major event documentary to be aired on the 60th anniversary of the ships' battle.<a href="#cite_note-Mearns75-89">[88]</a> This was the first time anyone had attempted to locate Hood's resting place.<a href="#cite_note-Mearns76-90">[89]</a> Mearns had spent the previous six years privately researching the fate of Hood with the goal of finding the battlecruiser, and had acquired the support of the Royal Navy, the HMS Hood Association and other veterans groups, and the last living survivor, Ted Briggs.<a href="#cite_note-Mearns75-89">[88]</a> The search team and equipment had to be organised within four months, to take advantage of a narrow window of calm conditions in the North Atlantic. Organisation of the search was complicated by the presence on board of a documentary team and their film equipment, along with a television journalist who made live news reports via satellite during the search. The search team also planned to <a href="/wiki/Streaming_media" title="Streaming media">stream</a> video from the <a href="/wiki/Remotely_operated_underwater_vehicle" title="Remotely operated underwater vehicle">remotely operated underwater vehicle</a> (ROV) directly to Channel 4's website.<a href="#cite_note-Mearns75-89">[88]</a> After footage of Bismarck was collected, Mearns and the search team began scanning a 600-square-nautical-mile (2,100 km2) search box for Hood; completely covering the area was estimated to take six days. Areas that Mearns felt were more likely to hold the wreck were prioritised, and the <a href="/wiki/Side-scan_sonar" title="Side-scan sonar">side-scan sonar</a> located the battlecruiser in the 39th hour of the search.<a href="#cite_note-Mearns76-90">[89]</a> Hood's wreck lies on the seabed in pieces among two debris fields at a depth of about 2,800 metres (9,200 feet).<a href="#cite_note-bell-91">[90]</a> The eastern field includes the small piece of the stern that survived the magazine explosion, as well as the surviving section of the bow and some smaller remains, such as the propellers. The 4-inch fire-control director lies in the western debris field. The heavily armoured conning tower is located by itself, a distance from the main wreck. The amidships section, the biggest part of the wreck to survive the explosions, lies inverted south of the eastern debris field in a large impact crater. The starboard side of the amidships section is missing down to the inner wall of the fuel tanks and the plates of the hull are curling outward; this has been interpreted as indicating the path of the explosion through the starboard fuel tanks. It is further supposed that the small debris fields are the fragments from the aft hull where the magazines and turrets were located, since that section of the hull was totally destroyed in the explosion. The fact that the bow section separated just forward of 'A' turret is suggestive that a secondary explosion might have occurred in this area.<a href="#cite_note-92">[91]</a> Other researchers have claimed that the final salvo fired by Hood was not a salvo at all, but flame from the forward magazine explosion, which gave the illusion of Hood firing for the last time.<a href="#cite_note-93">[92]</a> This damage, ahead of the armoured bulkhead, could have been implosion damage suffered while Hood sank, as a torpedo room that had been removed during one of her last refits approximates the site of the break. It was the opinion of Mearns and White who investigated the wreck that this was unlikely as the damage was far too limited in scale, nor could it account for the outwardly splayed plates also observed in that area.<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a> Bill Jurens points out that there was no magazine of any kind at the location of the break and that the location of the break just forward of the forward transverse armoured bulkhead suggests that the ship's structure failed there as a result of stresses inflicted when the bow was lifted into the vertical position by the sinking stern section. Furthermore, the current position of the plates at the edge of the break reflects only their last position, not the direction they had first moved.<a href="#cite_note-95">[94]</a> The forward section lies on its port side, with the amidships section keel up. The stern section rises from the seabed at an angle. This position shows the rudder locked into a 20° port turn, confirming that orders had been given (just prior to the aft magazines detonating) to change the ship's heading and bring the aft turrets 'X' and 'Y' to bear on the German ships.<a href="#cite_note-96">[95]</a> In 2002, the site was officially designated a <a href="/wiki/War_grave" title="War grave">war grave</a> by the British government. As such, it remains a protected place under the <a href="/wiki/Protection_of_Military_Remains_Act" class="mw-redirect" title="Protection of Military Remains Act">Protection of Military Remains Act</a> of 1986.<a href="#cite_note-97">[96]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Expeditions_to_retrieve_ship's_bell">Expeditions to retrieve ship's bell</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=HMS_Hood&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Expeditions to retrieve ship's bell">edit</a>]</div> In 2012, the British government gave permission for Mearns to return to the site of Hood's final resting place to retrieve one of her two <a href="/wiki/Ship%27s_bells" class="mw-redirect" title="Ship's bells">ship's bells</a> which were lying in a small open debris field some way from the wreck herself.
