I had been under the impression that Leach was ordered to disengage at DS by Wake-Walker? I'm a little hazy on the exact sequence of events, but I think Leach turned away at 6:01-2 to open the range, and at 6:05 was preparing to re-engage when W-W ordered him to disengage completely, however it may...

I wish I had a chance to do something like that at school instead of building the usual candle holders/tables and chests of drawers. One thing you have to remember is that words mean different things to different age groups. I would assume the kids would be refering to the engineering/looks and shee...

Hoods armour
Hi
Obviously its a well known fact now that the Hood`s deck armour was weak against plunging fire.
How well known was this during her lifespan? The RN obviously knew as they tried to redesign/refit her but would any other countries know?
or have I just missed the search button!

Hello there
Hello
as someone who has a modest interest in Battlewagons and who is currently trying to restart my modeling hobbie(cut short by my nephew + an open window years ago!!) with a model of the Hood.
I must say I have enjoyed reading various threads on this site to silly hours in the night.
