Résumé

This book charts the story of what is perhaps the Royal Navy's most famous warship. This book looks at the legacy of Jutland and how it played a part in the design of the Hood before looking at the career of his iconic warship-the highs and the lows from the world cruise of the early 1920s to the mutinies at Invergordon and at Christmas 1940.
