    HMS.Hood for years unseen.

    Just watched this doco so great an artifact that spanned 2 capital ships the Battleship Hood WWI and the Battle Cruiser Hood WWII came home, as a marker for those of her that have no known grave except the sea.
    Found it very interesting not sure if Ted Briggs was still alive when the bell came home.
    Postscript ~ Sadly Ted passed away in 2008 he was one of only 3 that survived the Hoods sinking and the last survivor left alive. RIP
