HMS Hood - Operation Catapult by Anthony Saunders (P)

The pride of the British fleet, The Mighty Hood as she was known, was launched in 1918. Weighing in at over 40,000 tons she was 860 feet long and had eight 15 inch guns, at her launch she was more than a match for any adversary. Hood sailed the world in the inter-war years and was admired in every foreign port she visited, however with a lack of major refits in this time the second world war found the Hood unprepared for a major battle, On the 24th of May 1941 the German battleship Bismarck found Hoods achilles heel within only a few salvos, namely her inadequate deck armour. Hood exploded in a huge fireball from which only three sailors survived. Here HMS Hood is seen with Force H in the Mediterranean. Winston Churchill knew that the powerful French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir could fall into German hands at any time and that the threat had to be removed by any means. On the 3rd of July 1940 the French fleet was duly dispatched by Force H. The Strasbourg being the only French battleship able to make her escape. Hodd is depicted opening fire at 17.55 hours with the battleships Resolution and the destroyer HMS Foxhound to her stern.

Extra Details : HMS Hood - Operation Catapult by Anthony Saunders (P)
About this edition :
This original oil on canvas naval painting by Anthony Saunders certainly must rate as one of his best paintings available of the iconic HMS Hood during an episode in Hood's history which is often overlooked. The canvas which is 30 inches by 20 inches is very impressive with a very reasonable price as to commission this type of painting now costs in excess of £7000. Once this small stock of paintings has gone, the chance of a real bargain painting by Anthony Saunders will have passed.
