actually Peter I think from the Prinz Eugen crew interviews that it may have been several shells striking the Hood. Have seen enough video amongst the smoke of the battle which shows incredibly hard just whom gave the devastating blows, and yes the Eugen is also at the top of ship favorites for me as well ......... thus being in the Baltic Sea in late 44 into 1945 had friends witness her destruction of Soviet gun emplacements heeding the German withdrawls.
