A research team is returning to the wreck of the HMS Hood to determine the details of its final moments and recover its bell.

QuoteThis week the recovery team will return to the wreck site with a two-fold mission: Retrieve the ship's bell and document the remains of the battle cruiser in the hopes of later determining what happened in the Hood's final moments.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

It's miraculous that the found the bell in the first place.

Interesting. Sounds like a great opportunity to film a documentary on the sinking of the Hood.

Yup. I almost went out and bought a model of the Hood to build.

Fortunately I made my sanity check. Last thing I need around here right now is more stuff to build and paint.





Except maybe a few more Flames minis.




Oh, and those Dystopian Legends (OMG those look good)......

Nah. If I dump $70 at Amazon it's not going to be on that.
