1)  Name the ship (fairly easy).

HMS HOOD taken from Battleship HMS PRINCE OF WALES during the Battle of the Denmark Straight. Last pic taken of the Hood before she was distroyed by KMS BISMARCK.

Deacon, I have bands of THUGS just to take care of "Copyright Infringments" of my Warship Quiz. :mad:   ( ;)  )

BTY, The Battle of Jutland was in WW1.

Darn; too easy.  It is a cool image though...
