Hood; launched in 1918 was the last battlecruiser built in Great Britain. She was named in honor of Admiral Samuel Hood and was to be the first of the Admiral- class battlecruisers; but further three vessels were never completed. During the construction the design had to be extensively modified to embody the experience of the Battle of Jutland; which markedly exposed insufficient armor of British battlecruisers. However not all shortcomings were eliminated; which later contributed to the loss of the ship.
