HMS Hood Opens Fire, May 24th, 1941 by Marii Chernev.


HMS Hood Opens Fire, May 24th, 1941 by Marii Chernev.

a tribute by artist Marii Chernev, to the men of the Royal Navys most famous ship, the battlecruiser HMS Hood and all the Royal Navy veterans who fought in the cold waters of the North Atlantic during World War II. Of a crew of over 1500 able bodied seamen, only three survived the thunderous blast as the German battleship Bismarcks fifth salvo found the lightly protected magazine of the Hood. Over 100 tons of powder exploded in a spectacular fireball that split the pride of the Royal Navy in two.
