HMS Hood was sunk, following a direct magazine hit, while in pursuit of the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen off Scapa Flow on 24 May 1941. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Hood_(51) The accompanying ships, on the Sydney visit, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales, were attacked and sunk by Japanese dive bombers off Malaya 10th December 1941. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_Prince_of_Wales_and_Repulse

" ... ... The Hood carried on well up towards Fort Denison before swooping around to Kirribilli. On reaching her anchorage the huge anchor, with its massive chain, dropped with a mighty roar and rattle. There was a great splash when the anchor touched the water, and a cloud of rust rose like a red smoke from the chain as it rattled out. ...

Yangyang Zhang 我們很高興你喜歡他們 (via GoogleTranslate) Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Yes, I thought it was worth posting - strange how a small detail like the "cloud of rust" makes a huge difference to the description.
