* HMS "Hood" (1891) - a turret-ship half sister to the "Royal Sovereign" class battleships built at Chatham, England, and sunk as a blockship in 1914. She was named after the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Arthur Hood.
* HMS "Hood" (1918) - Admiral class battlecruiser named after Admiral Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood, built by John Brown and Company, Scotland. She was sunk in 1941 by the German battleship "Bismarck" and heavy cruiser "Prinz Eugen" in the Battle of the Denmark Strait, only three crew members out of 1418 surviving.
