Laid down: 12 Aug, 1889[3]
Launched: 30 Jul, 1891[4]

H.M.S. Hood was a Royal Sovereign class battleship ordered for the British Royal Navy under the terms of the Naval Defence Act 1889. At the behest of the First Naval Lord, Sir Arthur W. A. Hood, she was constructed as a turret ship, the last of its type to be built for the Royal Navy.

Service

Built at Chatham Royal Dockyard, Hood served on the Mediterranean Station from 1893 to 1900, before a brief spell as port guard ship at Pembroke, following which she returned to the Mediterranean until December, 1902. After a long refit, she served in the Home Fleet from 1903 to 1904, then went into the Fleet Reserve.

She was placed on the Material Reserve in 1911, spent some time as a receiving ship at Portsmouth in mid-1913[6] before being put up for sale in 1914. Following various tests, she was sunk to block the Southern entrance to Portland harbour on 3 November.

Radio

As of 1901, while serving in the Mediterranean, she was slated to receive a "1 to 52" W/T set.[7]
