HMS Hood (pennant number 51) was the last battlecruiser built for the Royal Navy. Commissioned in 1920, she was named after the 18th-century Admiral Samuel Hood. One of four Admiral-class battlecruisers ordered in mid-1916, Hood had design limitations, though her design was revised after the Battle of Jutland and improved while she was under construction. For this reason, she was the only ship of her class to be completed. Despite the appearance of new and more modern ship designs over time, Hood remained the largest and most powerful warship in the world for 20 years after her commissioning, and her prestige was reflected in her nickname, "The Mighty Hood".
Hood was involved in several showing-the-flag exercises between her commissioning in 1920 and the outbreak of war in 1939, including training exercises in the Mediterranean Sea and a circumnavigation of the globe with the Special Service Squadron in 1923 and 1924. She was attached to the Mediterranean Fleet following the outbreak of the Second Italo-Ethiopian War. When the Spanish Civil War broke out, Hood was officially assigned to the Mediterranean Fleet until she had to return to Britain in 1939 for an overhaul. By this time, advances in naval gunnery had reduced
When war with Germany was declared, Hood was operating in the area around Iceland, and she spent the next several months hunting for German commerce raiders and blockade runners between Iceland and the Norwegian Sea.

Get the Trailer Hoodmug. Is when a hoodlum or hood rat takes their hand, twisting at the wrist. Then properly strikes a white women upon her face with there ridged back hand. This must be performed with enough force as to reverberate their mind set back to previous beatings from her youth or past relationships. Thus straightening her ass out, with what is known as a little bit of forceful act right. Cuz bitches get to crossing da line sometimes. So you gotsta knock dem triflin thoughts out the back of there nappy ass head before she gets to getting any ideas about self respect or women rights. A hood smack is just necessary to keep shit real.
Me: "Officer I had to hood smack that bitch Lauren because she was mouthing off to me like I was some hoodrat"
Officer: "Calm down son your not in trouble, just tell me what she said so we can take her in"
Me: "she said I'm the father"
Officer: "I did not leave the south side for this, Bitch is going away for a long time"
"I can't believe Kent hood smacked me again for 5 dollars"
