The Battle of Hood and Bismarck (1/2) : Mighty Hood

For educational purposes

Sixty years after the loss of two of the greatest battleships ever launched, Channel 4 mounted an ambitious expedition to locate and film HMS Hood and Bismarck.

Both were sunk several miles under the sea - too deep even for nuclear submarines to reach.

In the first of two feature-length documentaries, extraordinary evidence is provided by the expedition into the mystery of Hood's sinking.
