ATTENTION HOOD ENTHUSIASTS!
An announcement from the H.M.S. Hood Association website staff:
We are in the process of moving our website content to a different ISP. As part of this, we are moving ALL our content to
http://www.hmshood.org.uk Please update your favourites or bookmarks accordingly (all sections and page names are the same…just replace “.com” with “.org.uk”). For now, we are redirecting pages, but this will be gone by mid-late Summer. After that, the old URL will simply be an alias for the new homepage (no way we’re letting that go on the market).
This move will be followed, later this year and into next year, by a much-needed modernisation effort (a “very large repair” so-to-speak). The site is enormous and will always remain somewhat of a product of the late 90s/early 2000s, but we hope to make it “play better” with modern technology. As part of this, we hope to include a photo database where one can search by date, location, structural feature or other keywords (i.e., “AP507C” etc.). We’d also like to do some different drawings of the ship at different points in her career to help people better understand how to date photos…and show her other paint schemes (if anyone has those skills and would like to offer their help, please let me know…it would involve creation of a 1920 Hood then the various large changes made over the years/how she appeared at key periods). Many thanks!
