    Posting some photos of my brand new HMS Hood at the Treaty battle in Xenia, Ohio.
    I have not figured out how to re-size the photos myself, and wanted to get them posted, so although I know
    they will be re-sized automatically at midnight, and will not be viewable anymore, I will re-post them again later.

    As the first several photos are no longer viewable, I will take them down. As expected, the few photos that I up-loaded (but didn't post) have been automatically re-sized, and are viewable.
    I will delete the first batch, and up-load them into my user file, and will post them after midnight.
    Thanks for your patience.

    Bismarck dropped out of the sortie, so the teams were Markgraf, and Salem, against the Prince of Wales, and Hood.
    Here the Hood is chasing Salem, while Markgraf tries to strafe the lifeboat again.

    Prince of Wales and Hood coming in at the end of the battle. Note the small launch near the shoreline, and a missing lifeboat on Hood.

    First fleet battle on Sunday.
    Hood, Salem, and Suffren, up against the Bismarck, Markgraf, and Deutschland.
    Notice that the allies are lighter, and the axis are darker. Haha.

    Bismarck sunk.
    Hounded by the allied cruisers, and Hood.
    Notice that there are no other axis ships around.
