Thanks a lot!

However, I think that I found enough information from the standard round of publications, plus direct from the HMS Hood Association.

As a Hood fan though, Im sure you'll be pleased to hear that her uncompleted three sisters, Anson, Rodney, and Howe are included in the game.

Hood was a great battlecruiser, and it is really sad she didn't put up a better fight against Bismarck. Still, from what I have read she inspired awe whereever she went.

Ace!
It Was a nice boat, bad luck its entertaining that on paper her "light deck armour" was as good as an "R" and with 164,000shp she had 2x the power of a Queen!!! add 15" guns and you have what's arguably the best all rounder of the period.
but if they are completed, in the mid 20's will the "Nelsons" not be completed in 1927/28?

Nope, no Nelsons. Since they were scaled down versions of the G3 battlecruisers to meet treaty requirements, and since the treaty isn't in effect, then they aren't included. However, in a campaign variant, the G3 battlecruisers as designed are included.
