I honestly thought the Hood was hit amidships and the shell crashed through the ship and entered the aft magazine. There it below up, setting of the aft magazine. The fire swept through the ship and shot up through the funnels. The fires then moved forward and either while the ship was sinking or shortly after she sank (I believe the latter) and set off the forward magazine. I saw a documentary where they analized the sinking of the Hood (on this same program the showed how the found her and her remains). Interesting and tragic. Maybe the location of the shell hit will remain one of the many mysteries of the war. On a different note I believe it was the Bismarck that got the lucky shot. BTW is Ted Briggs still alive?
